- timewizard 2y agoCode that the LLM reproduced without modification from it's ripped off "training set." I literally have no idea what kind of deranged person does not notice this let alone believes that they should profit from it.
- staringback 2y agoNot open source...... public domain. There is a big difference.
- randomNumber7 2y agoWhen I have a LLM that spits out code identical to copyrighted code can I then use it legally? Otherwise I would need to check the output of every LLM for copyright infringement
- intrasight 2y agoThe AI will do that - for a price.
- ang_cire 2y agoNot if it was trained on that copyrighted code; the copyright "survives" the training process, legally-speaking, just as it does if you hear a song, and then output (even truly accidentally) the exact same song and claim it as your own. If you can perfectly prove that no copyrighted code was used in training a model and that the model was not algorithmically designed to output that code, based on knowledge of the copyrighted code on the creator's part, but it outputs code identical to a copyrighted program, it could very likely not be infringement... but obviously that's a high bar to clear for a complex program. If your model always outputs > #!/bin/bash > echo "hello world" another programmer will likely not be able to claim copyright infringement on it. If it always outputs Adobe Photoshop, you're gonna need a very good lawyer, and a Truman-show-esque mountain of evidence on your side.
