This comment falls into the classic programmer fallacy of thinking you can hack the law with a technicality. If you are using an LLM designed to violate copyright with the intention of violating copyright, and you then violate copyright, a judge is going to find you in violation.
I'm generally in support of LLMs though and I think that they will very quickly be trained to remove verbatim duplication of the kind that a human would consider copyright violation while still using verbatim duplication where it makes sense (for example, every function in python has the word "def" in front of it).
- r3trohack3r 4y agoI don’t think it does. I’m not looking to explicitly launder copyright. I’d like to be blind to it. I don’t want to explicitly use an LLM to remove copyright. I want to use an LLM to build software systems without having to cross reference its output with every line of code ever produced under a license to see if it’s already copyrighted. Agree with your take that motivation matters.
