which laws are broken exactly? it's not remotely settled law that "training an NN = copyright infringement"

[noitpmeder]

The training isn't the issue per se, it's the regurgitation of verbatim text (or close enough to be immediately identifiable) within a for-profit product. Worse still that the regurgitation is done without attribution.

The legal argument, which I'm sure you are very well aware of, is that training a model on data, reorganizing, and then presenting that data as your own is copyright infringement.

I don't think OP is arguing in bad faith.The fact is it's unclear what laws this legal argument is supported by.

[munchler]

Can you elaborate a bit more? That’s actually just a claim, not a legal argument.

Copyright law allows for transformative uses that add something new, with a further purpose or different character, and do not substitute for the original use of the work. Are LLM’s not transformative?

[anamexis]

Right, hence the lawsuit. They allege that the Copyright Act is the law that was broken.

No, we’re seeing the first steps of it (maybe) becoming settled law.
