I just wonder if they'll get out of it because LLMs do reword the information instead of spitting it back out verbatim. It's the same reason I think the image generators are safe from copyright law - it's just different enough that they could plausibly convince a judge with a fair use argument.
What bothers me even more is all the text they had to scrape to create ChatGPT... That seems like a novel problem for the legal system because you know there's no way they paid for all of it.
It doesn't matter. For it to be fair use under American law they would need to give full credit, which they obviously don't.
I guess you've never written a report before or you'd understand what they're saying.
LLMs do no such thing. They abstract information which is a non copyrightable process. Copyright is specific to specific presentation, explicitly non converting style, concepts or facts.
