> almost all open source LLM distribution is piracy and almost all API based LLMs, including ChatGPT, are also piracy and copyright laundering
That's an amplification of copyright, original expression is protected, but not the ideas themselves, those are free. And don't forget when we actually get to use these models we feed them questions, data, we give corrections - so they are not simply replicating the training set, they learn and do new things with new inputs.
In fact if you think deeply about it, it is silly to accuse AI of copyright violation. Copying the actual book or article is much much faster and cheaper, and exact. Why would I pay a LLM provider to generate it for me from the title and starting phrase? If I already have part of the article, do I still need to generate it with AI? it's silly. LLM regurgitation are basically attacks with special key, entrapments. They don't happen in normal use.
