          @elduvelle I’m not a lawyer. But intuitively, as the SCOTUS implies, copyright protects the work of humans. When writing a prompt to generate art, a machine is performing the vast majority of the transformation from the billions of works it ingested, not the human. Granted, *how much* human work needs to happen for something to be “transformative” (and thus grant the person a copyright) has been a subject of debate for decades, but generative AI is nowhere close to that threshold IMO.

                @blogdiva that's silly, it's like saying something written by a typewriter is not copyright-able because it was made by a machine.. The "AI" program was made by a human in the first place, it's just slightly more sophisticated..

                          The big tech companies have created the most inefficient and expensive public library known to man.

                          They’ve read that LLMs will happily reproduce an entire work of an author just basically copy pasting the book.

                          Should work wonders asking one of these videos services to completely replicate down to the pixel whatever film we want

                                @blogdiva Those rulings would probably only apply to the LLM generated parts; any real software product would be a mix of human-designed and AI generated parts, so it would presumably still have copyright protection. Now it is possible that a software product that is entirely "vibe coded" isn't copyrightable in the US, but currently those products suck too badly to be worth stealing.

                                  Definitely, see my other answer here
                                  https://neuromatch.social/@elduvelle/116161779140284723

                                  In the end I'd say the question is "who should benefit from the copyright", not whether the LLM's output is copyrightable or not, because I don't see why it wouldn't be. Obviously it's not going to be easy to figure it out, but in theory all those who contributed to the output (including in the training set) should be considered as contributors. The LLM itself, like a typewriter, is not a contributor.

                                  Yeah that would be a fair outcome.
                                  It rather raises the question of to what extent the intended purpose of commercial LLMs as they actually exist is to obfuscate things precisely so that any outcome like that is unachievable.

                                      so 3 courts + US Copyright Office say you cannot copyright nor patent anything made primarily with LLMs because automata aren't human.

                                      #SCOTUS won't review these rules because copyright is meant to protect human creations, not software or automata.

                                      this may mean #AWSlop #Microslop are “de-copyrighting” & “de-patenting” their own proprietary software as they let automata “code” 🧐

                                      @blogdiva Good point, maybe we can #DeMicrosoft the world, by arguing that, we could, potentially, make MS Apps, Software and maybe even Windows #OpenSource.

                                      I know, dreaming...

                                        If an AI/LLM reverse engineers the Windows codebase, and publishes the results, is this a Copyright violation?

                                        What if Copilot does this? Is it a contract violation?

                                        Did Copilot sign a NDA?
