The first unit of AP CSP was, pointedly - collaborative development. Coding is a team sport; writing (and dare i say artisting in general?) is a solitary one.
Interestingly, the current Anthropic lawsuit isn't copyright related, but piracy.
The use of the content of the books was found to be fine, but the acquisition via torrent downloads very problematic. And the payouts are very specific on this (one of my books was included, so I do tell people I helped train the AI 🤣)
There's also been another case where real books were purchased and scanned in, then physically destroyed, and whilst people are up in arms both for the destruction and the training uses, by taking this approach it's completely legal (apparently) under some 'first/only use' scenarios.
You wrote a book Keith!? Lego or tech? Yeah i read some scenarios of how OpenAI went a little nuts trying to find enough training data and resorted to low quality scrapes of this and that.
"Plagiarism is built in" is a provocative way to put it. 😂
Although I suspect many developers would say.... "Exactly. That’s the point."
Software has spent decades figuring out how to build on what came before.
Creative fields are now being forced into a conversation that engineering has been having for years.
I love the lens you used for AI - The Cathedral & the Bazaar

So many loopholes out there......

I'm disappointed you haven't got copies of any of them! 🤣
