So what's the difference between a person reading their books and using the information within to write something and an ai doing it?
Because AIs aren't inspired by anything and they don't learn anything
Language models actually do learn things in the sense that: the information encoded in the training model isn't usually* taken directly from the training data; instead, it's information that describes the training data, but is new. That's why it can generate text that's never appeared in the data.
