the output of an LLM can’t be copyrighted, so the claim is absurd on the face of it

If they win this I hope some superhero lawyer emerges that cites the very case they won as precident for punishing data theft and nails them with it.

[–] brsrklf@jlai.lu 13 points 10 hours ago

The collective works of billions of people are up for grab to train a LLM without their consent, but a couple gigabytes of responses collected from another parrot machine is theft.

Sure, Anthropic.

He, don't call it theft. AI is just collecting data. Just like someone in a library would. It's actually art. No it's actually an artist itself. (/S) TechBros get fuckd

Thieves being angry at thieves? Lovely.

There's no honour amongst them.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 14 points 13 hours ago

Maybe they should ask their AI how to protect from that "theft"

[–] Bazell@lemmy.zip 15 points 13 hours ago

LOL. As long as anyone can access your chatbot and pays for its usage they can do whatever they want with it. Even create another AI models that will be concurrents to your. Just admit that you don't want to loose your precious money.

Someone paid for their stolen works regurgitatation service to build an open source regurgitator that's just as good? Oh noes!

[–] alonsohmtz@feddit.uk 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Good.

Fuck copyright and patent laws.

[–] HailSeitan@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

I agree, but you can’t copyright what an LLM produces anyway

ladrón que roba a ladrón tiene 100 años de perdón

You're all committing mass dara theft you stupid bitch!

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 2 points 12 hours ago
