  So if you take away all the copywrited training data then it makes the same images?

    No. And that’s the point…

      So if it can’t function properly without other people’s work deciding what the art will look like that’s called copying.

      If human beings get shit for copying famous art or tracing we need to hold AI to the same standard.

        2. verb a. to make a copy or copies of b. to model oneself on c. to transfer (data, text, etc.) from one location to another, especially in computing

        I can’t believe I just had to provide you with a definition of the word copy.

        Are you freaking serious!!!

        Being inspired by and creating an original production is not the same as copying if that original work is inspired by other artists!!!

        By your definition of copying because Elvis Presley was inspired by Muddy Waters they made the exact same music!

        LLMs don’t produce copyrighted material they take inspiration from the training data so to speak. They create original productions.

        In the same way that you can envision the Mona Lisa in your head but you couldn’t paint it by hand.
