Yeah, I'm particularly curious about that -- there's already legal precedent in the US that an AI cannot author copyrighted nor patented work. OpenAI can try to curtail it through a clickwrap agreement, but those are notoriously weak.
- YetAnotherNick 4y agoIt is just a copyright violation. My guess is that it would be fine if you use already scraped data as you haven't accepted TOS, but they have every right to block you or access to your business if you violate this.
- itake 4y agoI thought the copyright office said that ai generated material isn’t copyrighted?
- aardvarkr 4y agoYou’re correct. US law states that intellectual property can be copyrighted only if it was the product of human creativity, and the USCO only acknowledges work authored by humans at present. Machines and generative AI algorithms, therefore, cannot be authors, and their outputs are not copyrightable.
- hanselot 4y agoSorry for asking a stupid question. How much Theseus do I need to ship before I can copyright it as my own? Is there some threshold for how much of an AI generated work needs to be modified by "human creativity" prior to it being copyrightable?
- klyrs 4y agoAs far as I can tell, you can claim credit for the output of a tool which produces something at your direction. If you write an algorithm to generate patents, and you execute that algorithm and submit its output to USPTO under your own name, no problem. If you gave credit to the algorithm, their policy is to deny the claim.
- JumpCrisscross 4y agoCan OpenAI claim copyright on GPT’s outputs?
- klyrs 4y agoI am not a lawyer, mind, but if they're trying to claim sole copyright the output of the machine's collaboration with its users, that sounds awfully dubious. Knowing lawyers, and having some familiarity with copyright law, the only thing i can confidently say is that your question will take several very expensive years to answer.
- YetAnotherNick 4y agoSorry, can't edit my comment now. I meant it is "not a copyright violation, but just a TOS violation."
- egillie 4y agoAnd even if they do, if someone uses the api and makes a publicly available website with no clickwrap, it would be legal to scrape that right?
