Isn’t their point that humans also do that? Without it necessarily being called copyright infringement? Lots of subtleties: fair use, what’s not fair use, etc?

It does seem like we’re in new territory, I can see merits on both sides and I guess we’ll figure it out via the courts / new laws over the next couple of years.
- p1necone 4y agoIt is called copyright infringement. If I write a book, and there's more than a few sentences in a row of content that's verbatim/almost verbatim the same as someone elses published writing (excluding intentional quotes/references) I do get in trouble. You can't just go "computer did it" and handwave away existing IP law.
- stale2002 4y ago> there's more than a few sentences in a row of content that's verbatim/almost verbatim Ok, now image that it isn't giving out verbatim results. Which is a lot of content. Totally fine then right?
- anonzzzies 4y ago> I do get in trouble. Unless the original was a bestseller and you are a bestseller, you almost certainly will not. This obviously happens all the time as most writers suck and do actually deliberately copy things and then self publish. AI is actually helping to now not do that.
