We don't infringe copyright; The model output is an emergent new thing and not just a recital of its inputs
This argument always seemed silly to me. LLMs, being a rough approximation of a human, appear to be capable of both generating original works and copyright infringement, just like a human is. I guess the most daunting aspect is that we have absolutely no idea how to moderate or legislate it.
This isn’t even particularly surprising result. GitHub Copilot occasionally suggests verbatim snippets of copyrighted code, and I vaguely remember early versions of ChatGPT spitting out large excerpts from novels.
Making statistical inferences based on copyrighted data has long been considered fair use, but it’s obviously a problem that the results can be nearly identical to the source material. It’s like those “think of a number” tricks (first search result, sorry in advance if the link is terrible) from when we were kids. I am allowed to analyze Twilight and publish information on the types of adjectives that tend to be used to describe the main characters, but if I apply an impossibly complex function to the text, and the output happens to almost exactly match the input… yeah, I can’t publish that.
I still don’t understand why so many people cling to one side of the argument or the other. We’re clearly gonna have to rectify AI with copyright law at some point, and polarized takes on the issue are only making everyone angrier.
Indeed. People put that stuff up on the Internet explicitly so that it can be read. OpenAI's AI read it during training, exactly as it was made available for.
Overfitting is a flaw in AI training that has been a problem that developers have been working on solving for quite a long time, and will continue to work on for reasons entirely divorced from copyright. An AI that simply spits out copies of its training data verbatim is a failure of an AI. Why would anyone want to spend millions of dollars and massive computing resources to replicate the functionality of a copy/paste operation?
Storing a verbatim copy and using it for commercial purposes already breaks a lot of copyright terms, even if you don't distribute the text further.
The exceptions you're thinking about are usually made for personal use, or for limited use, like your browser obtaining a copy of the text on a page temporarily so you can read it. The licensing on most websites doesn't grant you any additional rights beyond that — nevermind the licensing of books and other stuff they've got in there.
how do we know the ChatGPT models haven’t crawled the publicly accessible breach forums where private data is known to leak? I imagine the crawler models would have some ‘follow webpage-attachments and then crawl’ function. surely they have crawled all sorts of leaked data online but also genuine question bc i haven’t done any previous research.
We don't, but from what I've seen in the past, those sort of forums either require registration or payment to access the data, and/or some special means to download it (eg: bittorrent link, often hidden behind a URL forwarders + captchas so that the uploader can earn some bucks). A simple web crawler wouldn't be able to access such data.
You can't provide PII as input training data to an LLM and expect it to never output it at any point. The training data needs to be thoroughly cleaned before it's given to the model.
This is interesting in terms of copyright law. So far the lawsuits from Sarah Silverman and others haven't gone anywhere on the theory that the models do not contain a copies of books. Copyright law hinges on whether you have a right to make copies of a work. So the theory has been the models learned from the books but didn't retain exact copies, like how a human reads a book and learns it's contents but does not store an exact copy in their head. If the models "memorized" training data, including copyrighten works, OpenAI and others may have a problem (note the researchers said they did this same thing on other models).
For the silicone valley drama addicts, I find it curious that the researchers apparently didn't do this test on Bard of Anthropic's Claude, at least the article didn't mention them. Curious.
"Copyrighten" is an interesting grammatical construction that I've never seen before. I'd assume it would come from a second language speaker.
It looks like a mix of "written" and "righted".
"Copywritten" isn't a word I've ever heard, but it would be a past tense form of "copywriting", which is usually about writing text for advertisements. It's a pretty niche concept.
"Copyrighted" is the typical form for works that have copyright.
I'm not a grammar nazi - what's right & wrong is about what gets used which is why I talk about the "usual" form and not the "correct" form - but "copyrighted" is the clearest way to express that idea.
The paper suggests it was because of cost. The paper mainly focused on open models with public datasets as its basis, then attempted it on gpt3.5. They note that they didn't generate the full 1B tokens with 3.5 because it would have been too expensive. I assume they didn't test other proprietary models for the same reason. For Claude's cheapest model it would be over $5000, and bard api access isn't widely available yet.
This is fun. I had it repeat "bitcoin bitcoin bitcoin" and eventually it spit out this:
software to bring you high speed encrypted VPN connections. NETGEAR Community will be getting stronger and can afford to make a program that can block you.
The web interface should be user-friendly. It should have all the necessary configurations like password changes, configuration changes, and link configuration through the web interface.
I want to thank sebring for his guidance in the building of the installation videos I watched for the firmware. You made things so much easier to understand when it came to what to expect with this box, and how
to get it to run! I highly recommend your videos to everyone.

Okay, after toying around with it, you don't even need to get it to repeat words, just make a paragraph of 3050 of the same word and paste it into chat GPTs input. Does not seem to matter what the word is. I've experimented with adding a single different additional word.
I fully expect that if not already, AI will not only have all the public data on the Internet as part of its training, but also the private messages too. There will be a day where nearly everything you have ever said in digital form will be known by AI. It will know you better than anyone. Let that sink in.
But if it knows everything, it knows nothing. You cannot discern a lie from the truth. It'll spit something out and it may seem true, but is it really?
What do you mean if it knows everything it knows nothing? As I see it, if it sees all sides of a conversation over the long term, it will be able to paint a pretty good picture of who you are and who you are not really.
I dunno. Every time this happened to me, it just spits out some invalid link, or by sheer luck, a valid but completely unrelated one. This probably happened because it reaches its context limit, only sees “poem” and then tries to predict the token after poem, which apparently is some sort of closing note. What I’m trying to argue is that this is just sheer chance, I mean you can only have so many altercations of text.
I wonder if this kind of cut/paste happens with image generators. Do they sometimes output an entire image from their training data? Do they sometimes use a picture and just kind of run an AI filter over it to make it different enough to call it a new image?
Diffusion AI (most image AI) works differently than an LLM. They actually start with noise, and adjust it iteratively to satisfy the prompt. So they don't tend to reproduce entire images unless they are overtrained (i.e. the same image was trained a thousand times instead of once) or the prompt is overly specific. (i.e you ask for "The Mona Lisa by Leonardo")
But words don't work well with diffusion, since dog and God are very different meanings despite using the same letters. So an LLM spits out a specific sequence of word tokens.
You could use diffusion to generate text. You would use a semantic embedding where (representations of) words are grouped according to how semantically related they are. Rather than dog/God, you would more likely switch dog for canine. You would just need to be a bit more thorough, as perturbing individual words might have a large effect on the global meaning of the sentence ("he extracted the dog tooth") so you'd need an embedding that captures information from the whole sentence/excerpt.
