OpenAI now tries to hide that ChatGPT was trained on copyrighted books, including J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series::A new research paper laid out ways in which AI developers should try and avoid showing LLMs have been trained on copyrighted material.

AI works are not transformative. No new content is added.

The work generated is entirely new

I would disagree, they are transformative.

[–] BURN@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don’t see how it can be transformative if no new context can be added.

Also transformative is only 1 of the 4 pillars of free use and isn’t enough to justify it alone.

You're just repeating yourself.

New content is created, that's the whole point. The AI takes the original content and transforms it and creates new content.

[–] BURN@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I don’t believe that AI creates new content. Fundamentally it just statistically repeats what it’s seen before. That’s not new content, it’s a mad lib.

Current AI is great at pattern recognition, that’s it. It recognizes patterns in words and outputs the next one it guesses is right.

In that sense then the dictionary needs to lawyer up and go after all these artists

[–] GroggyGuava@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So you've decided on your own definition of "new content" and are now trying to bend what ai does to make it seem like what they've made isn't new content.

Tell me where I can find all this ai art then if it's not new?

[–] BURN@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

It isn’t new. It’s just a rehash of what it’s already seen.

AI and LLMs don’t create anything new. They just rearrange what has already been given to them based on an arbitrary set of input parameters. There’s no creativity and there’s nothing new about anything they create.
