Seems unfair as we converge on AGI. If I memorize the lyrics to a song, is that a copyright violation? The lyrics are encoded in the arrangement of my neurons, after all.
- endisneigh 3y agoI don't know why people use these analogies. No person can memorize terabytes worth of lyrics.

- justinclift 3y agoWhat if rainman could fly too? I guess rainman wouldn't need an airport for short haul trips. So, "good on rainman". Now, for the rest of us...
- dilap 3y agoDoes that invalidate the analogy? The point I'm trying to make is if you rule these behaviors illegal, then you're necessarily making intelligent AI illegal, because humans are capable of the same behaviors.
- endisneigh 3y agoPlagiarism is already a copyright violation so I’m not sure what your point is, and what you’re alluding to is literally what the post is about…
- paulmd 3y agoPlagiarism is not a copyright violation, it’s a violation of the social rules of private (academic) institutions and imposed by those institutions upon their members. If plagiarism was a copyright violation then citing the source wouldn’t make the copyright violation go away. Putting the artists name in the title of the YouTube doesn’t make it not a copyright violation.
- hnaccount141 3y agoThat's not what GP is saying. The (potentially) copyright infringing part is the reproduction of copyrighted material, not the encoding itself. In the same way that learning the lyrics to a song isn't copyright infringement, but performing that song live without permission would be.
- justinclift 3y agoPerhaps the difference is that you're a human doing it, and the other isn't?
