What human author hasn’t read and been inspired by existing copyrighted works?
It’s not even that uncommon for humans to accidentally copy them too closely later on.
I fully agree with you. I mean, even search engines are fully reliant on the ingest and storage of copyrighted material.
Of course the elephant in the room is how do we stop multi-billion dollar companies from advancing the technology significantly enough to put artists, programmers, writers and the like out of business.
You can't. The cat is out of the bag. The algorithms are well understood, and new papers on ways to improve output of far smaller models come out every day. It's just a question of time before training competitive models will be doable for companies in a whole range of jurisdictions entirely unlikely to care.
