> Since when OpenAI made a digital library?

What do you think is step 1 of training an LLM?

OpenAI just kept their library private and only distribute the digested summaries of the library, are the main differences.

[raincole]

Yes...? Which is the whole point. That main difference is why IA was sued, not the fact they're idealists.

So it’s OK to make an illegal copy of all copyrighted works as long as you don’t put it on the Internet?

[tmtvl]

In some places you can copy anything you like and as long as you don't distribute it you're not breaking copyright.

[fn-mote]

Not in the US, though.

You making the copy is the violation.

[margalabargala]

What OpenAI did is equally not legal under the same statutes that were used to sue IA.
