The LM industry valuation would be way smaller if they were not laundering behavior that would be illegal if a human did it. If "AI" were required to practice clean-room design (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clean_room_design https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clean_room_design) to avoid infringing copyright, we would laugh at the ineptitude. If people believed the FTC-CFPB-DOJ-EEOC joint statement was going to lead to successful prosecutions, the industry valuation would collapse. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/EEOC-CRT-FTC-CFPB-AI-Joint-Statement%28final%29.pdf https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/EEOC-CRT-FTC-CF...
- unusualmonkey 3y agoHumans aren't required to use clean room design. Using copyrighted materials as inspiration/reference is not uncommon or illegal.
- jedbrown 3y agoIf you spend weeks drilling flash cards on copyrighted code, then produced pages of near-verbatim copies with copyright stripped, any court would find you to have violated the copyright. A lot of people right now are banking on "it's not illegal when AI does it", and part of that strategy is to make "AI" out to be something more than it is. That strategy has many parallels to cryptocurrency hyping.
- unusualmonkey 3y ago'near-verbatim' is the key. Though it'd be hard to copyright any code small enough to fit on a flash card.
