If the AI can recall the text verbatim then it's not at all the same. When we read we are not able to reproduce the book from our memory. Even if a human could memorise an entire book it's not at all practical to reproduce the book from that. The current AIs are not learning "ideas", they are learning orders of words.
- contravariant 3y agoYeah the comparison to humans is silly anthropomorphising at this point. However I am inclined to agree with them for the simple fact that putting a file into a device and letting that device reproduce parts of the file should be allowed. I mean we're already at the point where this simple right is under pressure from DRM, but people should be allowed to do whatever they want with the files they own. Whether you can publish this output and share it with the world is a whole different issue.
