That is literally the point of this comment thread, go back and reread it.

Ok, so if the LLM was trained by reading the books, then the LLM creators should have to buy a copy of the books, right?

Because right now the creators are pirating the books to feed into the machine.

And how is an LLM trained to “draw inspiration” from an author without reading their books?

Yeah, I got a virus when I tried

Nobody here cares as much as you do

Who’s watching marvel movies for free, legally? Who’s listening to RHCP’s entire discography for free, legally?

Not the people training AI, they’ve been caught pirating their data multiple times.

And there’s the toxic form of that sentiment

I’m sorry you equated me saying we want to help our partner feel better with ‘stop whining’.

I think it’s because we feel that we can find the solution to the problem, it will stop the pain that our partner is feeling at the situation.

“It’s human nature” used to describe something horrific like war or rape.

It’s not. Human nature is as when we were children, playing with friends and loving each other.

Militaries have to condition humans to do violence to each other and to follow orders from “superiors”. Half of school is quashing kids’ creativity and making them follow arbitrary rules because “the adults” say so.

I’ve heard horror stories on the programming subreddits of incompetent managers that require their employees to write X new lines of code per week. Those code bases probably could have huge chunks taken off.

Clearly that hasn’t happened here
