    Large language models are just like humans.

    …humans don’t accidentally plagerize whole articles. They also understand the difference between theft and fair use, and AI has been shown to not respect that distinction multiple times. You can also sue humans for damages when they steal from you. Apparently LLM are immune to legal liability because oopsie poopsie mistakes happen uwu.

    LLMs are cool and useful, but if they’re harming the data sources they wouldn’t exist without, shouldn’t we do something?

      I’ve been teaching academic writing for the last ten years and would strongly object to your first two assertions 😄

        Lmao yeah, fair enough.

        Edit: I think the important word is “accidentally “ on that first point. 😉
