Sure, permission needs to be sought for reprinting. That’s not what we are discussing though. I will just take your word on that second part because as far as I know none of my professors asked author permission before telling the class to read anything.
Ah, I misunderstood. Sorry, I thought you meant for reprinting since that involved copyright. (Like providing readers or … whatever those bound copied texts are that profs hand out. Do they still do that? haha) But you’re right, if it’s just reading or discussing you don’t need permission for that. But while there are similarities between humans and machines using creative work, ultimately I think humans and AI are using the text very differently.
I want to clarify that I’m not against AI or machine learning generally, I just think creators need to be asked first before their work is given to any LLM, since it’s the owners of the LLMs who profit from their use, not the creators whose work helped grow it. That’s all I’m saying. I know AI’s isn’t going anywhere, and it can be used for a lot of great things. I just wish there were more protections for creators and their work, and that its growth was a little more ethical.
Such a well thought out and reasonable response. Thank you!
I generally do not agree with the law around intellectual property or even private property so we likely would not see eye to eye but I appreciate the chance to understand where you’re coming from and what you believe.
