Two authors sued OpenAI, accusing the company of violating copyright law. They say OpenAI used their work to train ChatGPT without their consent.

    Can’t reply directly to @OldGreyTroll@kbin.social because of that “language” bug, but:

    The problem is that they then sell the notes in that database for giant piles of cash. Props to you if you’re profiting off your research the way OpenAI can profit off its model.

    But yes, the lack of meat is an issue. If I read that article right, it’s not the one being contested here though. (IANAL and this is the only article I’ve read on this particular suit, so I may be wrong).

      @owf@kbin.social can’t reply directly to you either, same language bug between lemmy and kbin.

      That’s a great way to put it.

      Frankly idc if it’s “technically legal,” it’s fucking slimy and desperately short-term. The aforementioned chuckleheads will doom our collective creativity for their own immediate gain if they’re not stopped.

      Was also going to reply to them!

      "Well if you do that you source and reference. AIs do not do that, by design can’t.

      So it’s more like you summarized a bunch of books. Pass it of as your own research. Then publish and sell that.

      I’m pretty sure the authors of the books you used would be pissed."

      Again cannot reply to kbin users.

      “I don’t have a problem with the summarized part ^^ What is not present for a AI is that it cannot credit or reference. And that is makes up credits and references if asked to do so.” @bioemerl@kbin.social
