My point is simply these models should not ingest copyrighted materials without paying the authors or publishers. Litigating end-users who are using LLMs that have ingested pirated copyrighted would be so complex as to not be worth it except for large businesses. If I want to ingest/read a book I need to pay money but if an LLM does it they’re free to pirate the book? Why?

And why is it that I pay OpenAI to generate data based off books it stole for free when I had to pay money for the same book.

I know what I am actually paying for is the model obviously but it just feels extra wrong to be paying a company for a service it’s built using pirated content.

Or you just go to the local library. Or you borrow it from a friend. Or you stand in B&N and read it in the store.

You're arguments are not great.
