    What about IP and copyright?

    We got asked this question two weeks ago when we conducted a workshop on effective and responsible use of AI tools at a local conference. But how can you argue about about IP and copyright if the breakthrough of LLMs is potentially based on circumventing or breaking IP and copyright in the first place?

    How do you feel about all of this?

      Easy answer: it’s not. Learning isn’t copyright infringement. Never has been and hopefully never will be.

        Of course, but only humans are able to learn. Clanker enhancement is stealing.
