"If relating this to how humans learn" seems like a big IF though right? Are we going to treat computer neural nets as human from a legal standpoint?
At some point Neural Nets like GameGAM might be good enough to duplicate (and optimize) a commercial game. Can you then release your version of the game? Do you just need to make a few tweaks? Are we going to get a double standard because commercial interests are opposed depending on the use case?
It would be pretty funny if Microsoft as a game publisher lobbies to prevent their IP being used w/ something like GameGAN, but then takes the opposing stand point for something like their CoPilot! Although I'm sure it'll be spun as "These things are completely different!".
- paulryanrogers 5y agoThis is the key question. In school I was taught to be careful to always cite even paraphrased works. If Copilot regurgitates copyrighted fragments without citation or informing acceptors of licenses involved then it's facilitating infringement.

Maybe we will some day, but for now this isn't the case, where the law is concerned : https://ilr.law.uiowa.edu/print/volume-101-issue-2/copyright-for-literate-robots/ https://ilr.law.uiowa.edu/print/volume-101-issue-2/copyright...
