OpenAI now tries to hide that ChatGPT was trained on copyrighted books, including J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series::A new research paper laid out ways in which AI developers should try and avoid showing LLMs have been trained on copyrighted material.

    Our ancient legal system trying to lend itself to “protecting authors” is fucking absurd. AI is the future. Are we really going to let everyone take a shot suing these guys over this crap? Its a useful program and infrastructure for everyone.

    Holding technology back for antiquated copyright law is downright absurd.

      Stop comparing AI to a person. It’s not a person, it doesn’t do the things a person does, and it doesn’t have the rights of a person.

      And yes the laws are antiquated. We need new laws that will protect authors.

      Finally, no, you can’t just throw out all other considerations because you think AI is useful.

        I’m not sure about that at all. At what point does a computer program become intelligent enough to not have human rights but have some cognition of fair use.

        I think it needs to be really hashed out by someone who understands both copyright law and data warehouses, and some programming. It’s a sparse field for sure but we need someone equipped for it.

        Because I don’t think it’s as linear as you’re describing it.

        Lawyers getting paid regardless and are willing to yet again fuck regular folk and strip us of more things. Internet was so much more fun before they showed up and started suing everybody and issuing DMCA take downs
