I see authors et al claiming it is illegal or infringing to train an LLM on their art analogous to claiming a person is infringing or committing an illegal act by reading or viewing their art. Asking an LLM to write something in the style of some author amounts to asking a person to parody that author. Asking that same person to produce the original work verbatim is a different matter. And yes, LLMs can certainly be tuned to respect these issues. I'll end quoting 10cc, Art for Arts Sake, money for God's sake. "gimme a bullet, gimme a smash"

creating an LLM (kernel machine) from art is certainly fair use, as it's transformative. using a kernel machine to output original works or combinations of original works, and publishing that is certainly copyright infringement. building an AI system that does not prevent people from stealing is irresponsible, and is debatably the same as an internet platform. like how websites are required to take down content from DMCA requests, AI systems should be penalized if they don't prevent people from stealing the training data.
