alt Hacker NewsWhat the fuck? People also need to pay to access that creative work if the rights owner charges for it, and they are also committing an illegal act if they don't. The LLM makers are doing this illegal act billions of times over for something approximating all creative work in existence. I'm not arguing that creative's make things in a vacuum, this is completely besides the point.
Never heard anything about what you are talking about. There isn't a charge for using tropes, plot points, character designs, etc. from other people's works if they are sufficently changed.
If an LLM reads a free wikipedia article on Aladdin and adds a genie to it's story, what copyright law do you think has been broken?
