Interested to see how this plays out! Their argument that the only way a LLM could summarize their book is by ingesting the full copyrighted work seems a bit suspect, as it could’ve ingested plenty of reviews and summaries written by humans and combined that information.

I’m not confident that they’ll be able to prove OpenAI or Meta infringed copyright, just as i’m not confident they’ll be able to prove that they didn’t violate copyright. I don’t know if anyone really knows what these things are trained on.

We got to where we are now with fair use in search and online commentary because of a ton of lawsuits setting precedent, not surprising we’ll have to do the same with machine learning.
