AI and legal experts told the FT this “memorization” ability could have serious ramifications on AI groups’ battle against dozens of copyright lawsuits around the world, as it undermines their core defense that LLMs “learn” from copyrighted works but do not store copies.

Sam Altman would like to remind you each Old Lady at a Library consume 284 cubic feet of Oxygen a day from the air.

Also, hey at least they made sure to probably destroy the physical copy they ripped into their hopelessly fragmented CorpoNapster fever dream, the law is the law.

You can functionality copy Shakespeare with enough random words being generated. That's the argument you're making here.

No it is not, that would be writing Shakespeare by combining random words, LLMs are not capable of that level of artistry, there is no random to them. All they can do is calculate the probabilities of pre-existing connections and give you the most boring, obvious one.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
