I don't think you understand what plagiarism is. When you profit off of someone else's work, you're plagiarizing. Libraries do not profit off of anything. OpenAI, however, is a for-profit endeavor.

plagiarizing

This is taking someone's work and passing it off as your own. Did you not do a simple google search when there was some doubt to the definition, like I just did?

You might have gone with the law instead of the dictionary.

Did you read that?

Plagiarism can happen intentionally or unintentionally when a person uses another person's ideas or words without citing the original source. Here are four common forms of plagiarism:

Copying another person's words without using quotation marks or referencing the original source

Copying an author's words without using quotation marks but using accurate footnotes to the original source

Paraphrasing an author's ideas without including a reference to the original source

Rearranging an author's exact words, even if there is a footnote to the original source

Oh no, I plagiarized! lol

Can? C'mon kid.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yes, can. It is capable of doing all those things and, again, if she is correct, will do so if prompted.

I think this is nonsense, but you're saying the issue is that it doesn't use quotes when someone asks it to quote a passage from her book? Is that true?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Nope, again, the issue is that it can regurgitate the entire book if prompted. Why you think that's legal is beyond me. What if it had video. Should it be allowed to spit out all of Oppenheimer if prompted?

Can it?

Prompt:

quote me a passage from a popular Sarah Silverman book

Response:

As an AI language model, my knowledge was last updated in September 2021, and I do not have access to real-time data, including specific passages from books released after that date. Up until my last update, Sarah Silverman, the American comedian, actress, and writer, had not released a book.

However, Sarah Silverman has written a memoir titled "The Bedwetter: Stories of Courage, Redemption, and Pee," which was published in 2010. Since I don't have the contents of the book available to me directly, I can't provide a specific passage from it.

If you're interested in reading something from the book, I recommend checking it out from your local library or bookstore. Her memoir contains personal anecdotes and humorous stories, reflecting her unique comedic style and life experiences.

Edit: ChatGPT-3.5, if that matters.
