Do you allow commercial employees to read the code and incorporate knowledge obtained from the code into their brains?
But telling me it is illegal to share what I learnt because the original source is copyrighted... doesn't sit right with me.
What protects particular solutions is patents. For example if someone were to obtain a patent for computing GCD of large integers the usual fast way, well then everyone else would have to use a different solution.
This analogy to someone reading a book, perhaps peppered with lots of legalese to the point of being hardly recognizable, will definitely be used in courts at some point. And I can't see how it wouldn't stand as a valid argument.
If you pick up a book and learn a fact, then yeah, you’re allowed to share that fact.
It’s weird that this topic keeps devolving into a form of “so what, it’s illegal for me to learn things?” Because: no, it’s not. And: You and a piece of software are treated differently under the law. You have a different set of rights than ChatGPT.
Gods, no. Where did you get that from?
Those might not be a problem regarding this specific case, but the case can easily be made that it ought to be.
I don't understand your point. Do you think it makes any difference whether I use my laptop, or a pen, or ChatGPT to violate copyright?
On the other hand, it's completely feasible to make a license that stops someone from training their model with some piece of info, is it not?
