Downloading a pirated copy of the work. Pretty clear cut that this is illegal.
Feeding a work into an algorithm. This seems to me like it should be legal. Making it illegal looks like it would open an incredibly shitty can of worms.
Generating and distributing a partial copy of a copyrighted work. (“The AI just spat out three paragraphs of my text nearly verbatim!”) It’s unclear if this is even happening.
It could also indicate that other summaries of the texts were used to train the LLM and that it is summarizing those summaries. The actual book doesn’t need to be there, unless you can have it spit out the actual text of the book itself?
I’m getting real sick of this lawsuit crap regarding AI. Precedent case law already says you can’t copyright work produced by AI. So what exactly did it fucking steal, and how does it negatively impact them?? Imo, it doesn’t.
Hypothetically, ask AI to write a short story in the style of one of these writers. Don’t tell anyone. Get popular, reduce demand for original writer. People only have so much time, after all.
More likely, they just want to be compensated for their “voice”.
Not advocating for either of these… just thinking about why
