I'm shocked said no one
AI music generator Udio just admitted in a court filing that it trained on audio scraped from YouTube videos.
It’s already being sued by labels & artists for what they say is copyright infringement on an “almost unimaginable scale”.
Will be interesting now to see whether YouTube also takes action, given the YouTube CEO has previously said that scraping videos for training would be a “clear violation” of their terms of service.

Major new class action lawsuit accuses Meta of copyright infringement around AI training.
It says they trained on pirated books, and that AI books flooding the market demonstrates market harm.
