It still seems odd to me that the standard advice for "how do I avoid copyright issues with example code" is "rewrite it in your own style", and we're happy with this, but now that we have an algorithm that can do this (using a stupendous amount of calculation, it's not like these things learn for free... yet...) this is suddenly somehow cheating.
I think the protestations about copyright aren't entirely honest. People aren't mad that LLMs are "stealing their work", they're scared that LLMs are copying their ability to produce such work.
- brucethemoose2 3y agoIts some of both. Stable Diffusion will rarely blatently copy a work, as it has no distinction between creative reconstruction and plagiarism. I think this applies to LLMs too, its just much harder for human brains to detect. At the same time, the artists and such who claim any of its output is illegal are being hypocritical. Nothing is made in a vacuum.
