- Saline9515 7mo agoUnless your llm works by quoting large parts of copyrighted works, reinterpretations of them aren't copyrighted. Because it's not a copy.
- taneq 7mo agoWhat if the output regurgitates some other legal entity’s boilerplate licence agreement? Is the output automatically licensed to that entity?
- direwolf20 7mo agoNo, the copyright is the colour of the bits, and red bits with a comment saying "these bits are blue" are not blue bits, but you may be prosecuted for fraud.
- cj 7mo agoIt's wild to me that there haven't been more court cases to answer questions like those being asked in this thread. No one knows.
