In the exact same way that it’s not theft if an artist-in-training goes to a museum to look at how other painters created their works.

- jamietanna 11mo agoFalse equivalence - a random person can't go to a museum and then immediately go and paint exactly like another artist, but that's what the current LLM offerings allow See Studio Ghibli's art style being ripped off, Disney suing Midjourney, etc
- senordevnyc 11mo agoThat's not exactly how LLMs learn either, they require huge amounts of training data to be able to imitate a style. And lots of human artists are able to imitate the style of one another as well, so I'm not sure what makes LLMs so different. Regardless of whether you think IP laws should prevent LLMs from training on works under copyright, I hardly think the situation is beyond dispute. Whether copyright itself should even exist is something many dispute.
