What do you mean when you say "ripping off her work"? What do you think an LLM does, exactly?
In her case, taking elements of her book and regurgitating them back to her. Which sounds a lot like they could be pirating her book for training purposes to me.
How do you know they didn't just buy the book?
Again, that's not relevant.
Quoting someone's book is not "ripping off" the work.
How is it able to quote the book? Magic?
So you're saying that as long as they buy 1 copy of the book, it's all good?
No, I'm not saying that. If she's right and it can spit out any part of her book when asked (and someone else showed that it does that with Harry Potter), it's plagiarism. They are profiting off of her book without compensating her. Which is a form of ripping someone off. I'm not sure what the confusion here is. If I buy someone's book, that doesn't give me the right to put it all online for free.
It's not plagiarism if it says it's her book, lol.
What are your feelings on public libraries? And does it spit out the entire book, or just excerpts?
I don't think you understand what plagiarism is. When you profit off of someone else's work, you're plagiarizing. Libraries do not profit off of anything. OpenAI, however, is a for-profit endeavor.
This is taking someone's work and passing it off as your own. Did you not do a simple google search when there was some doubt to the definition, like I just did?
You might have gone with the law instead of the dictionary.
Did you read that?
Oh no, I plagiarized! lol
ChatGPT can do that.
ChatGPT can do that.
ChatGPT can do that.
ChatGPT can do that.
Can? C'mon kid.
Yes, can. It is capable of doing all those things and, again, if she is correct, will do so if prompted.
I think this is nonsense, but you're saying the issue is that it doesn't use quotes when someone asks it to quote a passage from her book? Is that true?
Nope, again, the issue is that it can regurgitate the entire book if prompted. Why you think that's legal is beyond me. What if it had video. Should it be allowed to spit out all of Oppenheimer if prompted?
Can it?

Edit: ChatGPT-3.5, if that matters.
