ChatGPT is full of sensitive private information and spits out verbatim text from CNN, Goodreads, WordPress blogs, fandom wikis, Terms of Service agreements, Stack Overflow source code, Wikipedia pages, news blogs, random internet comments, and much more.
That’s a bald faced lie.
and it can produce copyrighted works.
E.g. I can ask it what a Mindflayer is and it gives a verbatim description from copyrighted material.
I can ask Dall-E “Angua Von Uberwald” and it gives a drawing of a blonde female werewolf. Oops, that’s a copyrighted character.
I think you are confused, how does any of that make what I said a lie?
I can do that too. It doesn’t mean I directly copied it from the source material. I can draw a crude picture of Mickey Mouse without having a reference in front of me. What’s the difference there?
If you have a crude picture of Mickey Mouse and you make money from it, Disney definitely has a chance at going after you.
That’s due to trademark, not copyright.
