Apparently, stealing other peopleâs work to create product for money is now âfair useâ as according to OpenAI because they are âinnovatingâ (stealing). Yeah. Move fast and break things, huh?
âBecause copyright today covers virtually every sort of human expressionâincluding blogposts, photographs, forum posts, scraps of software code, and government documentsâit would be impossible to train todayâs leading AI models without using copyrighted materials,â wrote OpenAI in the House of Lords submission.
OpenAI claimed that the authors in that lawsuit âmisconceive[d] the scope of copyright, failing to take into account the limitations and exceptions (including fair use) that properly leave room for innovations like the large language models now at the forefront of artificial intelligence.â
Because some of its training data included some of the many, many websites out there that describe marketing techniques. However, your example has actually proved my point - the red sports car is a car for insecure middle-aged men needing a mid-life crisis penis extension. The LLM has entirely missed that cultural association, and has basically suggested a red sports car for a young audience, when an alternate colour would actually be more appropriate - because it doesnât actually understand what a red sports car means.
It also hasnât actually picked any distinctive elements that couldnât be found on a website offering generic marketing advice. âA dynamic compositionâ is obvious, but it hasnât specified any details about what the composition should look like. It hasnât detailed any of the surrounding scenery. It says you should include a brand name logo, which was obvious because you prompted it to come up with a brand name, but itâs failed to detail what those should actually look like. The entirety of the elements itâs created here is âsleek red sports carâ, which has a cultural connotation inappropriate to the target audience, and the rest you could literally get from any search for âhow do I create an advert for a car?â
