That would be a much better comparison if it was artificial intelligence, but these are just reinforcement learning models. They do not get inspired.

More to the point: they replicate patterns of words.

The brain does not work the way you think… (I work in the field, bio-informatics). What you call “neural networks” come from an early misunderstanding of how the brain stores information. It’s a LOT more complicated and frankly, barely understood.

Yeah, accurately simulating a single pyramidal neuron requires an eight-layer deep neural network:

Yet you confidently state that the brain doesn’t work the way LLMs do?

Obviously it doesn’t work exactly the same way that LLMs do, if only because of the completely different substrates. But when you get to more nebulous concepts like “creativity” and “inspiration” it’s not so clear.

Tell you what, you get a landmark legal decision classifying LLM as people and then we’ll talk.

Until then it’s software being fed content in a way not permitted by its license i.e. the makers of that software committing copyright infringement.

What exactly was not permitted by the license? Reading?
