I just wonder if they'll get out of it because LLMs do reword the information instead of spitting it back out verbatim. It's the same reason I think the image generators are safe from copyright law - it's just different enough that they could plausibly convince a judge with a fair use argument.
What bothers me even more is all the text they had to scrape to create ChatGPT... That seems like a novel problem for the legal system because you know there's no way they paid for all of it.
I think for it to be fair use under American law they would need to give full credit, which they obviously don't.
I guess you've never written a report before or you'd understand what they're saying.
Go ahead, knock yourself out: https://copyright.psu.edu/copyright-basics/fair-use/
LLMs do no such thing. They abstract information which is a non copyrightable process. Copyright is specific to specific presentation, explicitly non converting style, concepts or facts.
