In addition to the possible business threat, forcing OpenAI to identify its use of copyrighted data would expose the company to potential lawsuits. Generative AI systems like ChatGPT and DALL-E are trained using large amounts of data scraped from the web, much of it copyright protected. When companies disclose these data sources it leaves them open to legal challenges. OpenAI rival Stability AI, for example, is currently being sued by stock image maker Getty Images for using its copyrighted data to train its AI image generator.

Aaaaaand there it is. They don’t want to admit how much copyrighted materials they’ve been using.

    Your first comment and it is to support OpenAI.

    edit:

    Haaaa, OpenAI, this famous hippies led, non-profit firm.

    2015–2018: Non-profit beginnings

    2019: Transition from non-profit

    Funded by Musk and Amazon. The friends of humanity.

    Also:

    In March, Open AI co-founder Ilya Sutskever told The Verge that the company had been wrong to disclose so much in the past, and that keeping information like training methods and data sources secret was necessary to stop its work being copied by rivals.

    Yeah, he closed the source code because he was afraid he would get copied by other people.

      With replies like this, it’s no wonder he was hesitant to post in the first place.

      There’s no need for the hostility and finger pointing.

      I feel like the AI model is going to become self aware before people like Sutskever do

        Someone should just create an actual open source LLM, that can learn and replicate the innovations of all the others, and then just use these companies’ arguments about copyright against them.
