No copy-paste was explicitly used. They compressed it into a latent space and recreated from memory, perhaps with a dash of "creativity" for flavor. Hypothetically, of course.
The distinction is pedantic but important, IMHO. AI doesn't explicitly copy either.
- scott_w 2y agoBut isn’t that the same as memorising it and rewriting the implementation from memory? I’m sure “it wasn’t an exact reproduction” is not much of a defence.
- itishappy 2y agoI sure think so. I also think that (to first order) this is exactly what modern AI products do. Is a lossy copy still a copy?
- scott_w 2y agoI would have thought so but I’m not a lawyer. The article suggests DMCA is intended for direct copies so that’s why it failed here. Maybe more general copyright laws would apply for lossy copies.
