I mean, isn’t it basically an automated way of doing the thing that was always legal within current copyright laws?
Nope. You are smarter and more creative than an LLM. LLMs don’t understand their material they just copy patterns and do substitutions.
It’s more like doing a good job at plagiarism. Take 3 sources about the idea and copy them, then switch up the words. Also just add some random sentences of dubious quality that sound right but who knows they’re probably lies. But they sure do look like things humans wrote in the neighborhood of this topic.
That’s my point, if you do exactly that as a human, you’re fine from a copyright standpoint. The LLM created a new work, it’s quoting existing work under fair use, etc.
It’s completely fraudulent in an academic setting, and it’s a way to get around anyone getting paid for their original labour, but that’s not what we’re talking about.
