You can't say I'm using the word learn as a metaphor for some purely mechanistic and deterministic process and not like when people say learn as in middle schoo

You can't say I'm using the word learn as a metaphor for some purely mechanistic and deterministic process and not like when people say learn as in middle school kids learning algebra and then switch to using the second definition to absolve OpenAI from following the license.
That'd be like saying my computer learned the film Oppenheimer when bittorrent copied it to my computer's storage system, transcoding it to a lower bitrate, and claim I'm free of copyright law because my computer just learned some facts.
All of OpenAI's products are databases with highly lossy compression applied. Using language that implies a mind is pure scam.
- jessriedel 2y agoI’m not using anything about “learn” to justify what’s copyrightable and what’s covered by fair use. Those things are defined by the output, not the process that produced them. The point is that LLMs are very effective at extracting non-copyrightable facts from the words and other creative choices made by an author.
