Is it legal to teach kids and authors to write, by having them read lots of books?
Reading a lot is a well-known strategy to become better at writing. Thus, I argue that any reasonably skilled LLM that use the scraped text as input, but not produce verbatim copies, should not be considered as violating IP law.
- cratermoon 1y agoThat 'reasonably skilled LLM' is bearing a lot of the load. LLMs aren't 'skilled'. An LLM is a mathematical and computational construction, created through a mathematical transformation of input text and tokens. The people creating those models are using the text, not reading it, and no one is truly "reading" or "learning" from it.
