And what in particular is now novel or unique to the general 'issue' you mention?

Most companies use OpenSource in one way or the other.

Nonetheless, a company like MS has probably already build visualizers purely commercially (see excel) or/and is absolutly able to write it themselfs.

I am not sure what you are talking about.

If I release a novel visualization library on github under some open source license I want it to be attributed to me. I don't want some specialized LLM to be lifting and offering the same visualization concepts to unnamed corporates for a hefty fee without me ever even knowing about it and these corporates pretending they don't know where that concept is coming from.

It is you choice whether you think that is a problem and how "novel" it is. Theft after all has a very long history.

[cooperaustinj]

Everything you described been possible since the dawn of intellectual property. Just replace LLM with "person".

Furthermore, it isn't theft to learn from others' work and reproduce similar qualities.

[nologic01]

Possible is not the same as admissible.

Good to know that the prevailing commercial tech culture now sees plagiarism and stealing ideas without attribution as the modern way of doing business and hopes that dressing things up under some algorithmic veil will hide the act.

I guess the pit of moral decline has no bottom. The consolation is that theft has never been the road to wealth. Once the plundering is over the only thing that is left is a wasteland.

It seems that Microsoft has finally found a way to kill the open source "cancer".

I'm afraid I'm just unclear on exactly what part of this you argue is crossing a moral line.

I.e. what is being stolen without attribution? I'm genuinely not getting what you mean in this specific case.

[nologic01]

Limited visualization grammar means that any non-trivial visualization request will be lifting a particular solution, more or less verbatim.

[ryanklee]

I don't see how it's possible to show that the solution is lifted by the LLL as opposed to a arrived at by the LLM.

It seems to me that such solutions are soon to be within the set potentially constructed by an LLM.
