The basic graphing technology used by AI is the same pioneered by Alta Vista and optimized by Google years later. We’ve added a layer of abstraction through user I/O, such that you get a formalized text response encapsulating results rather than a series of links containing related search terms. But the methodology used to harvest, hash, and sort results is still all rooted in graph theory.

That simply isn’t true. There’s nothing in common between an LLM and a search engine, except insofar as the people developing the LLM had access to search engines, and may have used them during their data gathering efforts for training data

“data gathering” and “training data” is just what they have you calling it.
It’s not data gathering, it’s stealing. It’s not training data, it’s our original work.

You’re putting words in my mouth, and inventing arguments I never made.
I didn’t say anything about whether the training data is stolen or not. I also didn’t say a single word about intelligence, or originality.
I haven’t been tricked into using one piece of language over another, I’m a software engineer and know enough about how these systems actually work to reach my own conclusions.
There is not a database tucked away in the LLM anywhere which you could search through and find the phrases which it was trained on, it simply doesn’t exist.
That isn’t to say it’s completely impossible for an LLM to spit out something which formed part of the training data, but it’s pretty rare. 99% of what it generates doesn’t come from anywhere in particular, and you wouldn’t find it in any of the sources which were fed to the model in training.

It’s searched in training, tagged for recall then that info is filtered through layers. So it’s pre-searched if you will. Same thing as meta tags.
Then the data is processed into cells queries flow through during generation.
That doesn’t matter. It’s still using copywrited works.
Anyways you’re an AI stan, and defending theft. You can deny it all day, but it’s what you’re doing. “It’s okay, I’m a software engineer I’m allowed to defend it”
…as if that doesn’t stop you from also being a dumbass.
