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

Who stole it first?

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.

Thieves being angry at thieves? Lovely.

There's no honour amongst them.

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.

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

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

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

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.

Good.

Fuck copyright and patent laws.

[–] HailSeitan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

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