- notahacker 3y agoThe problem with the "a lossy mathematical translation of its inputs is exactly like a person learns" arguments, even if courts don't find them ludicrous, is that people absolutely can and are found guilty of trademark violations when they read thousands of pages of the LOTR and then write a fantasy novel full of Tolkein's character names for profit.
- veave 3y agoA fantasy novel with Tolkien's characters' names is an evident copyright violation regardless of how it was generated. That's not what's happening here.
- notahacker 3y agoNo, but the point is that OpenAI expects to be held harmless if someone uses its tools to violate trademarks [unlike if a human employee had been paid to read Tolkein and write a story about Gandalf and hobbits] because its not an OpenAI employee consciously doing it, but just a model that translates its given inputs If GPT is blameless doing some things because it's a deterministic model, not an agent, then the "it would be okay if a person was taught like this" defence doesn't apply in other areas

- thrwayaistartup 3y agoLaws are certainly up for philosophical debate, but at least in the USA, that debate typically has to happen in the legislature rather than the judiciary. More importantly, though, most judges are not philosophers.
- marstall 3y agoif you had a subscription, no.
- layer8 3y agoThe issue is that you know well enough where the dividing line is between a fully original article you write and one that plagiarizes. LLMs on the other hand don’t have that awareness, and can plagiarize by accident.
