My summary of the case: Someone did statistical analysis of a bunch of texts and created a tool that evaluates your text according to the developed model. Writers accused him of plagiarizing/using the content of their works.
- nness 3y agoAs an aside, this would be completely legal in Japan, as classification and statistical analysis are protected as fair-use. I wonder if similar language exists in other copyright systems, but I would imagine it is likely the opposite...

It's not fair or smart to judge an entire method (LLMs) by some broken examples. I wouldn't claim "all cars leak oil" just because I saw a broke-down beater one day.
