Even if we take copyright in its most limited, original conception, why would all value from creative works accruing to generative models that train on them ever encourage anyone to create these works?
IMO, what LLMs are demonstrating are the fundamental contradictions of Capitalism, where now being a capital owner with a bunch of GPUs is supposed to give you exclusive returns on the sum total of human intellectual and artistic labor. I have a feeling that people aren’t going to take to that too kindly, so we’ll either see robots mowing down the masses of unemployed, a Butlerian jihad, or various states assuming control over their productive capacities and redistributing the return in the form of greater safety nets.
