LLMs are just a novel compression algorithm.
What if Greg isn't an llm and he's your browser cache? Are you still infringing copyright?
Kim Peek is Greg and the difference between him and and AI is the text above.

If Greg talks so fast that he's distributing millions of these copies around the world, for money, then yes, of course he's infringing.

My browser cache is not a distribution mechanism. It's for my personal use. I'm not infringing on copyright if I keep books in my personal library. I am if I'm copying them millions of times and giving others access to that library for money. If I downloaded a bunch of paywalled content and then uploaded my browser cache to SomePirateSite.com, for money, then yes, I'm infringing.
Why do you think these are "gotcha" questions? This is pretty straightforward stuff, and nowhere does it prove that LLMs are not infringing.
So you mean Google, right?
Thats an interesting notion but isnt this just as true of any generative logic, provided the size of the set of results is larger than the code size? Like a random number generator. Can you compress infinity?
