OpenAI could be fined up to $150,000 for each piece of infringing content.

    It’s not like AI is using works to create something new. Chatgpt is similar to if someone were to buy 10 copies of different books, put them into 1 book as a collection of stories, then mass produce and sell the “new” book. It’s the same thing but much more convoluted.

    Edit: to reply to your main point, people who make things should absolutely be able to impose limitations on how they are used. That’s what copyright is. Someone else made a song, can you freely use that song in your movie since you listened to it once? Not without their permission. You wrote a book, can I buy a copy and then use it to make more copies and sell? Not without your permission.

      it’s not even close to that black and white… i’d say it’s a much more grey area:

      possibly that you buy a bunch of books by the same author and emulate their style… that’s perfectly acceptable until you start using their characters

      if you wrote a research paper about the linguistic and statistical information that makes an authors style, that also wouldn’t be a problem

      so there’s something beyond just the authors “style” that they think is being infringed. we need to sort out exactly where the line is. what’s the extension to these 2 ideas that makes training an LLM a problem?
