OpenAI now tries to hide that ChatGPT was trained on copyrighted books, including J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series::A new research paper laid out ways in which AI developers should try and avoid showing LLMs have been trained on copyrighted material.

    Mostly because fuck corporations trying to milk their copyright. I have no particular love for OpenAI (though I do like their product), but I do have great distain for already-successful corporations that would hold back the progress of humanity because they didn’t get paid (again).

        Perhaps, and when that happens I would be equally disdainful towards them.

        In the United States there was a judgement made the other day saying that works created soley by AI are not copyright-able. So that that would put a speed bumb there.
        I may have misunderstood what you though.

          Yeah, they might not copyright it, but after it becomes the ‘one true AI’, it will be at the hands of Microsoft, so please do not act friendly towards them.

          It will turn on you just like every private company has.

          (don’t mean specifically you, but everyone generally)

          Huh. Doesn’t this means technically AI cannot do copyright infringement.

            Nah, it would mean that you cannot copyright a work created by an AI, such as a piece of art.

            E.g. if you tell it to draw you a donkey carting avocados, the picture can be used by anyone from what I understand.

          It’s literally not, wtf.

          Do not let any private entity to get overwhelming majority on anything period.

          But do not kid yourself that Microsoft will let OpenAI do anything for public once it gets big enough.

          OpenAI is open only in name after they rolled back all the promises of being for everyone.

      There’s a massive difference though between corporations milking copyright and authors/musicians/artists wanting their copyright respected. All I see here is a corporation milking copyrighted works by creative individuals.
