So if I look at a painting study it and then emulate the original painter's artstyle, then I'm in breach of their copyright?
Or if I read a lot of fantasy like GRRM or JK Rowling and I also write a fantasy book and say, that they were my Inspiration, I'm breaching their copyright??
That's not how it works, and if it is, it shouldn't be!
Sure, if a start reproducing work, i.e. plagiarizing the work of others, then I'm doing sth wrong.
And to spin this further: If I raise a child on children's books by a specific author, am I breaching copyright, when my child enters the workforce and starts to earn money???? Stupid, yes! But so are the copyright claims against LLMs, in my opinion.
You're comparing something humans often do subconsciously to a machine that was programmed to do that. Unless you're arguing that intent doesn't matter ~~(pretty much every judge in America will tell you it does)~~ then we're talking about 2 completely different things.
Edit: Disregard the struck out portion of my comment. Apparently I don't know shit about law. My point is that comparing a a quirk of human psychology to the strict programming of a machine is a false equivalency.
Intent does not matter for copyright infringement, it’s a strict liability.
I looked it up and you're right. I must of been thinking of a different crime. That'll teach me to go spouting off about stuff.
My point that AI is programmed to recycle and humans aren't is still something I stand by, so I edited my comment.
Another proof that it is a bullshit law. Someone could literally die on my property and there are situations where I would not even get a small fine.
