Comment on Authors Are Furious After Finding Their Works on List of Books Used To Train AI
lemmyvore@feddit.nl 1 year agoTell you what, you get a landmark legal decision classifying LLM as people and then we’ll talk.
Until then it’s software being fed content in a way not permitted by its license i.e. the makers of that software committing copyright infringement.

What exactly was not permitted by the license
sab@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Using it to (create a tool to) create derivatives of the work on a massive scale.

An AI model is not a derivative work. It does not contain a copyrighted expression, just information about the copyrighted expression.

Wikipedia: In copyright law, a derivative work is an expressive creation that includes major copyrightable elements of a first, previously created original work.
I think you may be off a bit on what a derivative work is. I don’t see LLMs spouting out major copyrightable elements of books. They can give a summary sure, but Cliff Notes would like to have a word if you think that’s copyright infringement.

I didn’t know those were LLMs.

Well when that happens we have laws. So no problems

Would you be okay with applying that argument for any crime?
