I’m not too clear on copyright law, but I do know there is something called fair use.
For example, if we quote an article like the one we’re going to link to here, give our opinion of it, and then link, it could be considered fair use.
Its interesting that we can go about doing that as linking to the original source is saying to the site, we recognize the work, it isn’t mine, its yours.
In an example of me using Skypes bing bot, I asked it how to have sex. It came back with a disclaimer, it came back with what one has to do, and it also linked to a page where I can read more. This, to me as my test with Skype’s version seems reasonable to me. It didn’t spit out a bunch of crap that didn’t make sense and didn’t seem to go rogue.
With this said, we’ve seen articles talk about Chat GPT and other models going rogue on various things and not even siting anything. Even if it did, it was all wrong.
This is where I bet the NY Times is saying, they’re taking our copyright without giving us credit for the work.
‘Impossible’ to create AI tools like ChatGPT without copyrighted material, OpenAI says is the article. It is saying that models like these can’t be ran without using copywritten work. Well that’s fine, but show your sources when answering stuff. That, I think gets around copyright.
