No copy => no copyight infringement?
Terabytes of training data reduced to a model that fits on a memory stick. The models can certainly spit out bits and pieces, but I haven't seen any evidence they can recite back an entire book.
(I argue that what the model is doing is a lot less like copying, and a lot more like learning).
- gosub100 2y agoSo they had a copy, then used it to produce a product that made money, but didn't pay royalties for the use of the copy. I guess AIs best defense is that, yeah they obtained copies without paying, but it wasn't a "performance" or otherwise distribution of copyright material. The infringement was done internally. (God this irony is not lost on me: "hey gpt, what's the best argument to make for the $X-circuit court to persuade Judge $Y that we are not infringing on claim $Z under statute $W?")
