The problem is that, like any general intelligence (e.g. humans), any sufficiently generalized model capable of 1 will also necessarily be capable of 2, regardless of whether it's trained on copyrighted material or not. How do you make an AI model that's capable of summarizing Wikipedia articles but not news articles? Or that's capable of generating consistent images of my original character from a reference photo but not images of Mickey Mouse from the same? This is achievable only by restricting software freedom; by taking measures to prevent users from "running the program as they wish" and from "studying the source code and making changes".
I think the same principle applies to AI. Trying to make it impossible for people to use AI to break the law is a lost cause, only achievable by unacceptably onerous restrictions on human freedom. Instead, we should do what we've always done: make certain actions illegal and punish those who do them anyway in violation of the law. Maybe new laws might be required for that in some cases (e.g. deepfake porn) but for the most part I think the laws we already have on the books are sufficient, maybe with minor tweaks.
We need to create a whole new body of law for enforcing copy write protections in the age of AI.
Does the AI adequately attribute its sources? Does it paraphrase in acceptable ways or just repeat large swathes of text from its corpus with minimal changes?
The laws should force any LLMs not yet capable of complying with these requirements off the Internet until they can comply.
I can understand the need to prevent verbatim copying of data. But that is a problem solved on the output side of LLM's, not on the data input for training.
It is completely legal for someone to pay me to summarize the news for them every morning. I can't help but feel that knee-jerk regulation is going to be ultimately bad for everyone.
1.Understanding the world, for example by creating a statistical model of entire languages, as languages are already a model of reality.
2. Recapitulating (stealing) specific instances of information in ways that people often don't find acceptable. Grabbing a news article without permission, and providing that to your paying users without paying for the work. Recreating trademarked characters or the style of a particular living artist, without compensation. Deepfake porn.
The first seems generally valuable to society as a whole and a morally (IANAL) legitimate creative transformation, even of copyrighted work.
The second use seems exactly as you describe.
Societies could navigate this by encouraging and promoting the first use, and criminalizing or removing the ability to be paid from the second.
Of course, what is happening is that groups of economic interests will use their resources and clout to advocate for both, or against both.
