Sometimes Computer Scientists are prudes about knowledge in other fields.

- dogma1138 2y agoThis is probably more about lawyers than computer scientists. Due to the interactive and “assistive” nature of LLMs it might be far easier to make a case that OpenAI was complicit in a criminal conspiracy than say Wikipedia or some blog post from 13 years ago. Plus since these are the new hot thing some overzealous prosecutors would be much more inclined to go after them than geocities. And also I’m pretty sure they are not covered by “we are just publishers” defense. Even if they do beat it which they probably will the noise and cost associated with defending against any claims would be substantial.
