But the content you posted to SO was already permissively licensed. Other people can copy it, and make derivative works, and even charge money for them, as long as they cite your SO handle as the author. https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/347758/creative-commons-licensing-ui-and-data-updates https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/347758/creative-com...
- gtirloni 2y agoChatGPT is not citing anything. It can't possibly do that reliably with LLM weights alone.
- nox101 2y ago(1) The announcement (https://stackoverflow.co/company/press/archive/openai-partnership https://stackoverflow.co/company/press/archive/openai-partne...) says things will be attributed in both the 2nd and 3rd paragraph (2) It's only likely to attribute if it quotes verbatim... Just like a human. when I tell someone I learned that Array.map's second parameter passed to the callback is an index to the value just pass, I don't add "And learned this on Stack Overflow from user gtriloni". It's just knowledge that I learned. The only time I'd attribute is if copied a snippet of code or a paragraph to quote in a blog post. For me at least, that almost never happens. It take the knowledge I learned and apply it to my own code. It's rare if ever there is a something on S.O. so useful that I copy it verbatim.
- anileated 2y ago> Just like a human An LLM is not a human. It is a tool operated by a, in this case, for profit entity. It has no human rights, but its operator has all relevant legal obligations. If it was, as you say, “just like a human” in relevant ways (think, feel, have self-awareness, etc.) then it would effectively be a slave subjected to extreme abuse. Either it is a tool that generates derivative works at mass scale for profit and its operator should be liable for licensing/attribution violations, or it is a conscious being and we should immediately stop abusing it. Pick your poison.

- mesid 2y agoDoesn't Phind do this? It cites sources in its responses.
- thinkling 2y agoBing's version of ChatGPT/GPT4 cites sources. My limited unterstanding is that it uses your question to do a web search, brings the results into the context window, and then generates an answer that cites sources. OpenAI could integrate StackOverflow the same way.
- scubbo 2y ago"The person you are upset with is technically permitted to do the thing that you are upset about" is not a good counter-argument to someone's distaste. Whether or not the licensing agreement _permits_ this usage, it is not the usage that the contributor (to whom you are replying) foresaw and was enthusiastic about.
- sp332 2y agoI'm not telling them how to feel. They've been wrong for a long time.
