It's an extreme stretch to say that the model weights are a derivative work of the training data given the legal definition of "derivative work".

- timeon 2y agoIt is processed data at the end of the day. And no it is not like human reading. You can't read whole Github.
- stale2002 2y agoThat doesn't make it a derivative work. If I "process data" by doing a word count of a book, and then I publish the number of words in that book (not the words themself! Just a word count!) I haven't created a derivative work. Processing data isn't automatically infringement.
- account42 2y agoIt's not more a stretch than saying that re-encoding a PNG as a JPEG is a derivative work even though the process is lossy and the resulting bits look nothing alike.
- archontes 2y agoI'm not sure you're being intellectually honest. You think that a model that's capable of being prodded into producing an infringing output in addition to all the other non-infringing outputs it could produce is no different than a compression algorithm?
