I didn’t claim it was.
We can discuss technicalities all day long, but that’s so beside the point. Thread OP claimed that creating an LLM based on a copyrighted work is okay, because humans are influenced by other works as well. But a human can’t crank out hundreds of Stephen King-like chapters per hour. Or hundreds of Dali-like paintings pretty minute.
If King or Dali had given permission for their works to be used in this way, it might have been a different story, but as it is, AI models are being trained on (and profit from) huge amounts of data that they did not have permission for.
Edit: nevermind, I think trying to discuss AI ethics with you is pointless. Have a nice weekend!
Thread OP here.
Creating an AI that incorporates copyrighted work is indeed OK in my opinion, but I would view fine tuning much more critically. A commercial AI that can accurately reproduce large parts of Kings work would be problematic in my opinion. This is something I think we both agree on.
But my point is that they can’t. His works make up a minuscule fraction of the training set. An AI can not pump out hundreds of Stephen King-like chapters per hour. The same way Stephen King can not write in the style of xzy, only crudely approximate it. So in my opinion it’s a non issue ^^for at least a few more years until AI achieves superhuman performance.^^
