How many books can you write per second? How how many books per second can you read to influence and change your personal style? I don't think any person who actually has worked on anything creative in their life would compare a personal style to a model that can output in nearly any style at extreme speeds. And even if you're inspired by a specific author, invariably what happens is it becomes mix of yourself + those influences, not a damn near-copy. With visual mediums it's even worse, because you have to take the time [months, years] to specialize in that specific medium/style.

>> How many books can you write per second? On my laptop, using modern tools backed by AI? ... many. >> How how many books per second can you read to influence and change your personal style? Thanks now to AI, hundreds. I can plug the output of the book-reading AI into the input of the tool I use to write my books and thereby update my personal style to incorporate all the latest trends. Blame the idiots who are paying me for my books.

  This is clearly a bad-faith response to the point that the GP was making

  So, zero. You yourself: zero. You completely ignored the premise of the question.

    You should read the response more carefully. Generative models are just tools. If I use one to write a story it’s no less a story that I wrote than if I’d chiseled it into a Persian mountainside.

      It pretty clearly is. Less of a story that is.

        Careful, you’re saying the quiet part out loud.

I don't think anyone who has ever read a novel in their life would say that an AI can write literature at all, in any style. > not a damn near-copy. The obvious solution is to just treat it as if a human did it. If you did not know the authorship of the output and thought it was a human, would you still consider it copyright infringement? If yes, fair enough. If no, then i think is clearly not a "damn near-copy"
