    That would be a much better comparison if it was artificial intelligence, but these are just reinforcement learning models. They do not get inspired.

      just reinforcement learning models

      …like the naturally occuring neural networks are.

        The brain does not work the way you think… (I work in the field, bio-informatics). What you call “neural networks” come from an early misunderstanding of how the brain stores information. It’s a LOT more complicated and frankly, barely understood.

          Yet you confidently state that the brain doesn’t work the way LLMs do?

          Obviously it doesn’t work exactly the same way that LLMs do, if only because of the completely different substrates. But when you get to more nebulous concepts like “creativity” and “inspiration” it’s not so clear.

            people have a definite fear of being defined as machines… not sure why we think were so special…

        Tell you what, you get a landmark legal decision classifying LLM as people and then we’ll talk.

        Until then it’s software being fed content in a way not permitted by its license i.e. the makers of that software committing copyright infringement.

              Wikipedia: In copyright law, a derivative work is an expressive creation that includes major copyrightable elements of a first, previously created original work.

              I think you may be off a bit on what a derivative work is. I don’t see LLMs spouting out major copyrightable elements of books. They can give a summary sure, but Cliff Notes would like to have a word if you think that’s copyright infringement.

              An AI model is not a derivative work. It does not contain the copyrighted expression, just information about the copyrighted expression.

                  I would be, and I don’t understand why you think this would be a problem. I wouldn’t want the government to be preventing activities that there weren’t any actual laws prohibiting.

                    You’re missing the point. I’ll make your example more specific.

                    Well when fraud/rape/murder happens we have laws. So no problems.

                    Those things happen. Creating a LLM based on copyrighted material without permission happens - it’s not a hypothetical. But even then, giving a punishment after the fact does not make the initial crime “no problem”, as you put it.
