> So what the license of the output should be based on is the training data. An obvious practical problem with this is that the licenses are variously incompatible with one another: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/License_compatibility https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/License_compatibility > The big players can only avoid this logical conclusion by pretending that the model ("AI") is some kind of intelligent entity and also by training on everything so any license is only a minority of the input. Whether it's an intelligent entity or not doesn't really enter into it. The real question is whether the output is taking enough from some particular input to make it a derivative. Which ought to depend on what a given output actually looks like.
