Look my problem with all of this is: AI doesnt steal copyrighted work, not really. It’s more like someone reading a book and being inspired to ise it for a project he has. We humans do that all the time, AI is just faster at it. So why should we treat a software differently than every other person ont the planet. What’s next? Are we suing people for playing songs that might have been inspired by another song? That’s sjust not how things work.

    How can they prove this though? I don't think they'd have any way to. Unless OpenAI straight up admits it. But like the article mentions, the data could still have been obtained legally.

    Ask ChatGPT to summarize Sarah Silverman’s book. Ask it to give you a few quotes from it.

    How else would it be able to do that unless it had been trained using the book as an input.

    Hmm. That's a fair point. Lol.

    I suppose it's possible that it was trained on articles and such that quote/summarize the book. But what you're saying makes sense.
