OpenAI could be fined up to $150,000 for each piece of infringing content.https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/08/report-potential-nyt-lawsuit-could-force-openai-to-wipe-chatgpt-and-start-over/#comments
When OpenAI commits copyright infringement no one bats an eye, but when I do it everyone downvotes me
Yeah I don’t get it. ChatGPT is not “Fair use” and there is no credit given to anyone, it’s a solid case against them
I just wonder if they’ll get out of it because LLMs do reword the information instead of spitting it back out verbatim. It’s the same reason I think the image generators are safe from copyright law - it’s just different enough that they could plausibly convince a judge with a fair use argument.
What bothers me even more is all the text they had to scrape to create ChatGPT… That seems like a novel problem for the legal system because you know there’s no way they paid for all of it.
It doesn’t matter. For it to be fair use under American law they would need to give full credit, which they obviously don’t.
I’m not 100% sure where I stand but, for arguments sake; Are you sure about that? it sure is transformative!
Classic joke, something like: if you owe the bank $100, it’s your problem; if you owe them a million, it’s their problem.
