Some argue that bots should be entitled to ingest any content they see, because people can.

Avram Piltch is the editor in chief of Tom’s Hardware, and he’s written a thoroughly researched article breaking down the promises and failures of LLM AIs.

    Well, I think that these models learn in a way similar to humans as in it’s basically impossible to tell where parts of the model came from. And as such the copyright claims are ridiculous. We need less copyright, not more. But, on the other hand, LLMs are not humans, they are tools created by and owned by corporations and I hate to see them profiting off of other people’s work without proper compensation.

    I am fine with public domain models being trained on anything and being used for noncommercial purposes without being taken down by copyright claims.

      AIs are deterministic.

      1. Train the AI on data without the copyrighted work.

      2. Train the same AI on data with the copyrighted work.

      3. Ask the two instances the same question.

      4. The difference is the contribution of the copyrighted work.

      There may be larger questions of precisely how an AI produces one answer when trained with a copyrighted work, and another answer when not trained with the copyrighted work. But we know why the answers are different, and we can show precisely what contribution the copyrighted work makes to the response to any prompt, just by running the AI twice.
