Sure. But if the child has that capability, it doesn't automatically make them a walking copyright violation. "Intelligence", even the current version of AI, entails knowing about stuff, including being able to recite. That doesn't mean intelligence's existence violates copyright. If a person used AI to make a copyright violating work, that's a different story, just like if they used their own innate intelligence to do so.

Taken to its conclusion, liability is then on everyone who decides to publish anything that ChatGPT “tells” them, because it might cross the threshold on plagiarism. Are the OpenAIs of the world ready to shield their customers from that liability? If it turns out that using ChatGPT to help you write your resumé opens you up to accusations of plagiarism, or DALL·E to create an image for your website opens you to copyright violation, will you use them?

  > Taken to its conclusion, liability is then on everyone who decides to publish anything that ChatGPT “tells” them Yes. Just like reading anything else on the internet. An LLM is no different from typing "popular cola logo" into Google search and claiming you invented it. If I type "cola logo" into DALL-E and get a replica of Coca-Cola... that doesn't mean I created that logo and can exploit it for commercial purposes. > Are the OpenAIs of the world ready to shield their customers from that liability? Why would they? We aren't suing pen manufacturers because someone wrote something libelous using their pen. We aren't busting down the doors of Crayola because little Johnny used the crayons to draw Mario.

    OpenAI might not want to shield all their customers from liability, but that is exactly what GitHub have done with Copilot. It's not a hypothetical, it's being done today.

      Otherwise it wouldn't get used. I mean get this great auto complete; if you use it, your code might be AGPLed for all you know, and you're in violation, because you didn't even add a notice. Would you pay for that?

  In a heartbeat. It's time for the old paradigms to die and new ones to be formed. If ASI can exist I don't believe our the old methods of intellectual fortifications will continue to work in the future. Much like castle walls aren't used to protect against guided missiles.
