In 2016, we asked an actual IP lawyer the other question that has been fervently debated of late, “does the IP status of the training data taint the weights?”
He said “we have no idea, and we won’t until someone with a boatload of cash burns it in a lawsuit.”
So we might find out soon!
- nuclearnice3 4y agoDid he give any sense of the best arguments that might be deployed on each side? The non-copyright people will point to recipes. The weights are ideas, not expressions. A “simple set of directions” is uncopyrightable. The copyright people will point to the ability to extract significant chunks of copyrighted material from the weights. I find the non-copyright argument stronger.
