It also, in my pay opinion, needs a memory store. I need to be able to save something to a variable and call back that exact variable. Right now, because it’s just pure text input of the whole conversation, it can forget or corrupt it’s “m

Fair use is a judgement. Fair use is an affirmative defense (admitting guilt, but saying you should be allowed to, like self defense.) A judge looks at the work and the framework and decides if fair use is an acceptable defense to infring
