Like the record labels sued every music sharing platform in the early days. Adapt. They're all afraid of new things but in the end nobody can stop it. Think, learn, work with it, not against it.
The plaintiffs claim ChatGPT violates copyright law by producing a “derivative” version of copyrighted work when prompted to summarize the source.
That's an interesting angle. All these lawsuits are good for shaking the dirt around these things. They should be tested in the real world before they become lost in the background of every day life.
We do already have a defense against these programs to stop them from scraping a site. I asked chatgpt once how it gets around captchas on websites, and it told it if there is one then it just doesn't go any further.
If that's actually true or not is another question though.
I can't really take seriously any accusations coming from Sarah Silverman after that whole wage gap bs she tried to pull.
Seems like she isn't afraid to manipulate a trending social outcry to collect a paycheck.
Personally I find this stupid. If we have robots walking around, are they going to be sued every time they see something that's copywrited?
It's this what will stop progress that could save us from environmental collapse? That a robot could summarize your shitty comedy?
Copywrite is already a disgusting mess, and still nobody cares about models being created specifically to manipulate people en mass. "What if it learned from MY creations" asks every self obsessed egoist in the world.
Doesn't matter how many people this tech could save after another decade of development. Somebody think of the [lucky few artists that had the connections and luck to make a lot of money despite living in our soul crushing machine of a world]
All of the children growing up abused and in pain with no escape don't matter at all. People who are sick or starving or homeless do no matter. Making progress to save the world from immanent environmental disaster doesn't matter. Let Canada burn more and more every year. As long as copywrite is protected, all is well.
This won't even stop LLMs, ones from countries that don't respect copyright will simply advance past the ones that are. Like a Chinese tech company could simply ignore all that, and what, is Sarah Silverman going to sue Tencent in China? Good Luck. Tiktok uses copyrighted music constantly without permission, yet YouTube Shorts had to set up a system with the publishers. All that copyright laws in their current form do is hamper basically everyone for the sake of a few large companies.
Lmao all these lawsuits smell like toilet paper to me; and probably another attack on AI to slow it down
