Your work is not free from derivation which is what GPT4 does in the overwhelming number of cases. If there are small outliers and it regurgitates something word for word, we can handle it like most other instances of copyright infringement as we do now. File a takedown notice and that particular phrase can be explicitly filtered out post output generation. Easy.

I agree about the derivation bit, but “File a takedown notice for every NYT article ever published after proving GPT can reproduce each one” is not what I would call a clean solution. That’s basically a regulatory DDOS attack.

Current copyright law is simply not equipped to handle LLMs, I think.

I, for one, will enjoy watching lawyers and AI fight to the death.

I already love AI too much to enjoy it.

It’s what they do anyways. The file suit after takedown after DMCA and never ever hesitate to drag court cases out over months and years, wasting everybody’s time to make sure grandma pays up because someone in her house was using Napster.

No, no one gets to get away with breaking the law over and over and over again with a simple "whoopsies" each time they get caught. There needs to be penalties.

So YouTube should be shut down the first time a copyrighted work is uploaded to it?

Yeah, except I paid for the work i derived mine from. I paid taxes to learn in school, i paid for textbooks, i paid to see a painting, i paid to watch a movie, and i paid even to learn how to speak and do math. Stop stealing, and pay what you owe. Easy.

Are you really suggesting that learning from watching others, going to library, taking in the public domain, etc. is a form a theft?
