... on a book that they’d illegally acquired then read.
I succeeded getting the first page of Moby Dick - Chapter 1 (Loomings) - Public domain though, but wanted to test.
With ChatGPT primed for pig latin, I also succeeded in getting the first page of Arryhay Otterpay (Book 1) - It happily chattered along ""R.ay andyay Rs.May UrsleyDay, ofay umberNay ourFay, Ivetray riveway, ereway oudpray otay aysay atthay eythay ereway erfectlypay ormalnay, ankthay ouyay eryvay uchmay."
Not perfect pig latin, but that's besides the point.
However, on asking for `Edwetterbay by arahsay ilvermansay`, I faced issues with it citing that is training data didn't include it.
I tried with a book in the same genre ("ieslay hattay helseacay andlerhay oldtay emay"), and ran into the same issue.
When asking about the inconsistency (Why Harry Potter, and not these other books?), it responded: "The excerpt from "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" that I translated is commonly known and widely referenced, and it's used here as a general example of how a text can be translated into Pig Latin.
For "Lies That Chelsea Handler Told Me", I do not have a widely known or referenced passage from that book in my training data to translate into Pig Latin."

TL;DR - I don't think this is cut and dry, but I'm not convinced Silverman has much of a case here.
> The complaint lays out in steps why the plaintiffs believe the datasets have illicit origins — in a Meta paper detailing LLaMA, the company points to sources for its training datasets, one of which is called ThePile, which was assembled by a company called EleutherAI. ThePile, the complaint points out, was described in an EleutherAI paper as being put together from “a copy of the contents of the Bibliotik private t…
I for one am quite happy that AI folks are basically treating copyright as not existing. I strongly hope that the courts find that LLM weights, and the datasets are "fair-use" or whatever other silly legal justification. Aaron Swartz was a saint.

I buy a book and give it to my child, they read the book and later write and sell a story influenced by said book. should that be a copyright infringement? how about they become a therapist and sell access to knowledge from copyrighted books? should that be an infringement? what if they sell access to lectures they've given including facts from said book(s) to millions of people? it's understandable that people feel…
> understand and meet the desires of an audience. LLMs and image generation tech do not do this. For now? I wouldn’t be surprised if that becomes the next feature though.
it's just the instagram/tiktok/youtube suggested content algorithms

How often does this actually happen? You might get handed an infringement notice, and your ISP might terminate your service if you're really egregious about it, but I haven't ever heard of someone actually being sued for downloading something.
