I disagree, and though the GP maybe didn't have this sentiment, my personal view is that intellectual property is a bunch of crap and just because there are laws around it in our capitalist society doesn't mean that the laws are moral/just/ethical/good. IP is constantly ingested and transformed which is exactly what LLMs are doing. The fact that ChatGPT can't even accurately reproduce data from its training (it gets basic facts/dates/quotes wrong all the time) really reinforces that it's not infringing on anyone's IP.

If you're tired of responding to these comments then stop. It's the internet, everyone is at different places in exploring topics and having discussions. Don't poo-poo on someone else's journey and instead move on with your day. There is no required reading (other than TFA) on hacker news.
