minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish3•2 days agoif i learn a book by heart, and then go around making money by reciting it, then that’s illegal. same thing.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish5•2 days agoOn the other hand, it is not the learning in your example that is illegal, but the recital. If you learn ten books by heart and make money writing shitty fanfics, thats not necessarily illegal.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish0•2 days agowell yeah. And it has been proven time and again that they can, and do, regurgitate that training material out quite often
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish0•edit-22 days agoYup. I don’t think training should be considered breaking copyright. Regurgitating though should. There are examples of use cases besides the right now obvious one of LLMs “creating” “original” content. One that comes to my mind is indexing books. Allowing for people to search for books based on a description.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish-1•2 days agoThat’s not what AI is doing though. A better analogy using your book example would be learning a book by heart, then going and writing a new book in that same style. Is that illegal? No.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•2 days agobut that’s not what they’re doing when they’re spitting out open source code verbatim, with no attribution or license
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish0•2 days agoexcept that they regularly do. It isn’t even news at this point
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish-2•2 days agocan you please show me some examples? Should be easy to find them based on your comment.

well yeah. And it has been proven time and again that they can, and do, regurgitate that training material out quite often

It shouldn’t be illegal

Is that illegal? No.
