@glitchapp Without the appropriate sources information has little to no value. @darkfrei Yes, you can make copyright claims for almost any creative work that you publish online. Regarding to the maze question: I am not a lawyer but from what I understand copyright deals with creative works like musi...

That may be true, but suppose that the generated code violates copyright laws. It is not nice to copy and paste code without providing attribution or credit to the original author.

It appears that OpenAI is being sponsored by Microsoft which is a large, for-profit company. It is safe to say that ChatGPT's development is driven by money and self interest. Furthermore ChatGPT does not appear to be open source (the source code is owned by the deceitfully named OpenAI). You are fr...

Thank you, Slime, you are pretty much right on.

Dusoft, sure the technology has advanced, but computers have been able to parse natural language and understand context for a while.

The media is slobbering all over ChatGPT on purpose, almost as if somebody is sponsoring them.

it doesn't matter what any of us think about what is legal or how these systems work. no one with real power making these decisions is going to care Yes, it matters and people care about each other's rights and privacy. Once the large corporations figure out how to use AI in order to exploit regula...

Even the creators of ChatGPT are concerned about the legal aspects of their creation, including copyright aspects In my opinion, they do not seem very concerned. ChatCPT's replies are generated based on information collected from third parties, but it does not cite its sources or provide attribution.

Nobody will take legal action if you copy/paste a few snippets of code. On the other hand, ChatGPT is a bot and can be trained by scraping terabytes of data from the internet (including these forums). So, there is no universal, "cross-countries" way to determine that? You can obtain a copy...

It depends on where users A,B and C are located - each country has its own copyright laws. Generally speaking, you cannot just copy/paste code that you found on the internet unless it includes an appropriate license. ChatGPT is not a legal entity and as far as I know you cannot sue an AI. All I am s...

"A posteriori" statements need to be backed up with sources so we can judge their accuracy and truthfulness. On the other hand, "a priori" statements are deductive and can be proven using logic or math. We should not assume that ChatGPT's replies are true. Moreover, how do we kno...

I think there is a broader and more general question of copyright and privacy. My concern is with regards to the data that is stored and processed by ChatGPT and how we can determine if it was obtained legally. ChatGPT does NOT cite its sources of information, and should therefore be treated with ut...
