Photocopiers are for personal use, training an AI is not. If you photocopy 10,000 copies of copyrighted text and starting distributing it you will get sued.
It would be different if I trained my own AI, for my personal use.
- gmerc 3y agobusinesses use photocopiers, there’s Xerox shops, etc. Again, LLMs don’t copy so it’s not a good metaphor.
- mattmanser 3y agoI know. It's well established. You brought up photocopiers and you never said it wasn't a good metaphor so I don't know why you pre-pended "Again". If it's not a good metaphor, that invalidates your point that: "we didn’t ban [photocopiers] either despite them technically being a lot more useful for violation" So now you're arguing against yourself.
- gmerc 3y agoI’m not. Take the printer instead. Much more capable of plagiarism and copyright violation
