You didn't finish the analogy.
Not just produce "works like the author" but being able to regenerate those original works word-for-word.
Is that copyright infringement? If I have the entire Dark Tower series memorized word-for-word, and reproduce passages or entire chapters on-demand for others. It's just the way some people learn.
- troupe 3y agoWell yes. If you reproduce passages from a book (from memory or otherwise) and present it as your own, that is copyright infringement. We have lots of well established law about how much things can be similar without infringing. LLMs that are just spitting out full copies of what they were trained on aren't functioning correctly or haven't been trained on enough content.
