A major ruling in #AI #CopyrightInfringement has opened the door for new lawsuits. The suit involves footage from #BladeRunner2099 that was identifiably spat out as the result of a request #ElonMusk showed off at a publicity event. :blobcatthinkingsmirk:

Don't the major book publishers realize that each court injunction and seizure incentivizes book pirates to distribute books using more sophisticated file sharing technologies that are resistant to censorship and surveillance?

"...the emerging research is making clear that the ability to plagiarize is inherent to GPT-4 and all other major LLMs. None of the researchers I spoke with thought that the underlying phenomenon, memorization, is unusual or could be eradicated."

#LLMs like #OpenAI’s #GPT and #Google’s #Gemini #store portions of their #trainingdata, contradicting claims that they only learn #patterns. This “#memorisation” poses #legalrisks for AI companies, potentially leading to #copyrightinfringement lawsuits. The phenomenon also challenges the industry’s metaphor of #AI “#learning” and highlights the need for accurate descriptions of how these models function. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/2026/01/ai-memorization-research/685552/
