Hmm...
If I illegally download college course text books I could also technically pirate a whole ass education. Just won't have a degree.
Unless... Can I pirate that, too? ๐ค
Having the material doesn't mean you know it unfortunately. You could probably give yourself a PhD level of education yourself with resources publicly available, but you would need to be able to learn on your own, and putting together the curriculum would be a problem since you are starting as a novice at whatever subject it is.
however, the curriculum is also often publicly available
Totally, when I want to learn a new subject in my field I will go find a uni course with a public curriculum and use that to help my studies. It also lets you find books that have ostensibly accurate information

If you train a local LLM and let that LLM write your thesis for you, it's fine.
All you need to do is print it, forge the signatures and input it in the national registry. Should be doable.
Oh, so I should get a positronic brain?
So I can cover a song and distribute it, right? Right??
No, but you can learn it
So then I guess I can learn the song, write down the notes from memory, and play that cover. It's all gone through a neural network and so it's all fine, right?
I'm not an AI fanboy, but this is kinda a lame take. If the AI produced the same song it heard it would be a cover, sure, and subject to copyright, yes. But most of the time the AIs produce something that is similar to but different from its input.
So yeah, if you listened to a bunch of AC/DC and then wrote a song that sounded like it could be an AC/DC song but isn't an AC/DC song, that wouldn't be copyright infringement.
Can I bring to mind Vanilla Ice vs Queen?
7 notes (2 different ones) were enough for copyright infringement.
The bar for copyright infringement my humans is incredibly low. All you need to infringe on copyright is that your work is "derived" from a copyrighted source work. If you take an original song and change it so that in the end every single note is different, it's technically still a derived work and still copyright infringement (though it becomes hard to prove that at that point).
If you use the same rule for AI, everything an AI ever outputs is derived works. If you removed all original works from the AI training sets, the AI would do nothing at all.
But for some reason even if the AI outputs whole chapters of books word for word (which most good LLMs can), it's for some reason not a copyright infringement.
The only reason that's the case is that the involved judges have no technical understanding and let themselves be bamboozled by fancy new tech. Or because of money exchanged between AI corporations and judges.
education is a fair use exception, too
