When you ask ChatGPT "Tell me a story" it's always is about a girl named Elara

Has any legal precedence been established that training breaks copyright? Are you implying that reprinting a novel word-for-word, except for changing one character's name, wouldn't be copyright infringement?

To be honest, for some children, even books are better teachers than classrooms with other teenagers constantly disrupting the class with teachers not being able to teach nor being able to punish the disruptive children due to modern regulatory burden, which removes total accountability from children.

Our classrooms have already been ruined, not just in america but worldwide. AI will be great for the decent, obedient, smart kids as a tool to extend themselves learning wise, those kids can read books at home, learn, ask questions to AI that immediately generates visuals to explain concepts use agentic model to detect the core of the child’s doubt about a topic in background thinking and iteratively resolve all the issues.

But the saddest part of all this to me, is it’ll never be able to help the disruptive kids with often broken households with no one to look after them, no one to lead them to the right path, the more at-home solutions will get better, the creamy top layer of children will distance themselves from broken community classroom education, and it’ll further divide us all as a society.

To think of that inevitable future, it breaks my heart. AIs can be far better evaluators than classrooms, with connected cameras, recognition systems, anti-cheat solutions to then automatically review a child’s progress, capability, depth of knowledge about systems, and can do it in a more standardized way to benchmark all of america’s children reliably than teachers and state level evaluation exams we have now.

CommonCore was meant to solve this, its been a disaster, i think the future of AI is more prominent in Evaluation than it is in Learning, learning wise i think it is doomed anyways, simply because 70% of kids are addicted to doomscrolling social media, have been habituated to bad disruptive behaviours, and are left unsupervised as “iPad children” by modern day unserious parents. I dont see AI solving any of that anytime soon, only pragmatic human solutions could possibly solve that, with communities taking a stand to reverse these declining trends.

I find it to work pretty well if I both feed it a bunch of context about the story and characters, and give it a summary of what has to happen in the next three paragraphs.

when asked the reason, ChatGPT had this to say- "Actually, the choice of “Elara” wasn’t a result of training on specific copyrighted stories or any prompt to avoid copyright claims. OpenAI models like me are designed to create original content without directly referencing copyrighted characters, and "Elara" is simply a popular-sounding name in many storytelling contexts. I just used it consistently for its versatility, but I’m totally open to switching things up!"

This is a good example, I think, of why a future in which all homework is obsolete because of AI is actually not likely.

If a lecturer at university sets a task for 100 students (say, write an essay about the factors that led to the first world war), there will be clear and glaring similarities between the way that points are made and explained if many students use chatgpt. Yes a student might rewrite or paraphrase chatgpt, but low effort copy and paste is going to be very obvious because chatgpt's model cannot produce an entirely unique approach to the task every time it is asked.

I know there are weights and parameters that can be adjusted, so there is some variety available, but I think better to think of the LLM as an additional (all-knowing) person you can consult. If everyone consults that same person for an answer to that assignment it's trivial to detect.
