Copyright doesn't apply to ideas. It applies to works, which are specific, complete expressions of ideas. The problem artists have with LLMs is not that they routinely output copyrighted works (it can happen, but isn't common), but that they copy human-expressed knowledge and art styles on an industrial scale, thus destroying revenue streams that supported or encouraged creative expression in the past. I doubt this is going to be solved via existing copyright laws. I suspect that the need for disclosure of copyright on the source material is to build a case for more novel legal protections for artists down the line. |

I was attempting to say that in my first sentence.

I currently have no opinion on art works as my focus is on knowledge and LLMs. I just did a search on Amazon for "child care" and found 40,000 books on the subject. I doubt the world needs 40,000 books on child care so if LLMs remove the revenue stream from these authors maybe they will spend their time writing books the world needs.
