    Probably would have been cheaper to license everything you stole, eh, Anthropic?

    Oh no! Building a product with stolen data was a rotten idea after all. Well, at least the AI companies can use their fabulously genius PhD level LLMs to weasel their way out of all these lawsuits. Right?

      PhD level LLM = paying MAs $21/hr to write summaries of paragraphs for them to improve off of. Google Gemini outsourced their work like this, so I assume everyone else did too.

      I propose that anyone defending themselves in court over AI stealing data must be represented exclusively by AI.

        That would be glorious. If the future of your company depends on the LLM keeping track of hundreds of details and drawing the right conclusions, it’s game over during the first day.

    No it won’t. Just their companies. Which are the ones making slop. If your AI does something actually useful it will survive.

      You know, if they lose, their tech will probably become the property of copyright holders, which means your new AI Overlord has the first name Walt.
