"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

identify AI that has used copyrighted material

but, that is basically all modern "AI".

(the only LLM i've heard of which actually claims that its training corpus is freely licensed is Apertus...)

Adobe claims to only train their image generator, Firefly, on images from their stock library.

Even if it didn't use copyrighted stuff, the concept of "generative" AI is fascist to its very core.

Can you explain? I might miss the connection.

Traditionally, with machine learning, it is standard practice to mention what datasets and/or pretrains were used, so that the results are transparent and can be replicated. With GPT-2, it was "the common crawl and our own crawled 8 million web pages", and since then I feel it's mostly left out, falling back on (easily manipulated) benchmarks instead 😬

Yep. But just providing a list of millions of URLs and saying "we trained on this" as some models in the past have done also didn't make it possible to replicate; by the time anyone re-fetches them all, many of the URLs will inevitably have changed or disappeared.

That's exactly why projects like the common crawl exist though !
