hell Pantone claims to own colors let alone art
The question is more like this, if google books has an api that lets you retrieve one sentence from any book, and you use it to fetch whole chapters of valuable books written by actual insightful authors.
Do you really deserve to claim to have written the book you patch together from that? Especially, do you really deserve to not only benefit from selling the new book, but not even acknowledge nor pay a percentage to the original authors?
- AlecSchueler 3y agoIt depends how derivative my resulting book is. If I put all the sentences in the same order then I've created a derivative work, but if I create a meaningfully new work then I'd expect the copyright to be mine.
- Brian_K_White 3y agoHow do you know what deserves credit and what doesn't, when the tool doesn't tell you? How do I know whether you had the valuable insight to craft an artful line, or ot was handed to you and you glued it to another and another? When you write a program using a library, there is no such ambiguity or credit-washing. You wrote your app, the library authors wrote the library. copilot is essentially stripping that. You get to not only write your app, but look like, and even, apparently, feel like, you produced everything that went into it. All that stuff that was done by someone else and gifted to you, well that's all just the tools you the real artist used. It's absurd to credit a paint brush eh?
