"Our computer program which digests massive amounts of data works kinda-sorta vaguely like a human brain" is just irrelevant. It's a computer program, and we're nowhere near the point of having serious ethical debates about science fiction AGI.
The law just doesn't particularly care about the details of your ML model, OpenAI is still processing massive amounts of copyrighted work without which their software would be nearly useless. That's the interesting legal question.
- archontes 3y agoThe thing is that copyright law doesn't protect against that processing. The only argument is whether their information was scraped off the internet legally, and the supreme court has weighed in that scraping information that's publicly available is legal. If you put a picture on the internet free and clear, I can save the picture to my hard drive, and I can use it in any way whatsoever sans reproduce it. The only question is if making an AI that can reproduce it is in fact the same as reproducing it. I think the question is a very simple 'no', but we'll have to see.
