How Apple is Stealing YouTube Video Content to Train AI, and Why It Does Matter

Recently, Wired reported that Apple, Salesforce, Nvidia, and more are using "stolen" data from YouTube to train AI. The data consists of subtitle transcripts scraped from over 170,000 YouTube videos across some of the biggest names.

In some cases, like MKBHD those transcriptions are hand-created at a cost. But even when they aren't, they're formed off of scripts written by creators.

But if it's on the internet, it's freely available for any use right? Let's get into that thought, because I disagree.

The products I use to make videos:
Mac Studio
Mac Studio dock
Mac Book Pro
Camera
Camera remote
Gimbal Camera
Wireless microphones
Mic charging case
Lavier
Tripod
Carbon fiber tripod
Teleprompter
Color Checker
