The act of getting heaps of copyrighted media for commercial use without paying clearely breaks copyright
This LLMs are not trained on the radio, especially not exclusively.
Edit0: Did you get access to this book that inspired you legally, as in at a library, during a class, or having bought it yourself? Was it fair use?
Because none of those look like getting heaps of copyrighted stuff for free and claiming you didn't.
If instead you stole the book - then yes, this is similar. I don't care what you do with it - can't steal it and assume you are respecting copyright.
If OpenAI rented all humanity’s media from a library and used them to train an AI model then that seems 100% ethical to me.
Now if you ask the model to recite the script to Breaking Bad and it does so perfectly and I think that grants me copyright authority over it then we’re going to have problems. It’s just not the model or tool’s problem.
How about you?
This is the point
Similar, if all the books used to train a model are available in the library, so long as someone rents the books, then they can be used to train a model.
The question was directed at you. I don’t know why you’re repeating it back to me like I didn't know what I was asking…
OTOH are copyright abolitionists who are offended by the notion that their freedom to copy and modify code on their own harddisk could be restricted by a mere "license", to them the notion of intellectual property is poppycock. The Strong Copylefties consider GPL a necessary evil, a way to use their enemies' tools against them, to spread their ideals of free culture amidst a corporatist hellscape.
Or it could merely be someone taking the naïve reading of "anti-copyright"
1) I’m generally copyleft and would argue that copyright as we know it is nonsensical in the digital era and needs to be entirely rebuilt to make any sense whatsoever. And that as is it harms the commons more than it protects creators. So yeah a fileserver has always been a game changer just like the printing press was and we’re far behind as a society, legally.
2) When a computer system does reproduce copyrighted content verbatim, it’s infringement the same as if a human did it from memory. That wasn’t my point. My point was that use of copyrighted content to train the model is fair use because it’s no different from a human consuming the content and committing it to memory.
