I'm confused why you'd be unable to create copyright characters for your own personal use.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 7 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (4 children)

You're allowed to use copyrighted works for lots of reasons. EG ~~satire~~ parody, in which case you can legally publish it and make money.

The problem is that this precise situation is not legally clear. Are you using the service to make the image or is the service making the image on your request?

If the service is making the image and then sending it to you, then that may be a copyright violation.

If the user is making the image while using the service as a tool, it may still be a problem. Whether this turns into a copyright violation depends a lot on what the user/creator does with the image. If they misuse it, the service might be sued for contributory infringement.

Basically, they are playing it safe.

just a guess, but in order for an LLM to generate or draw anything it needs source material in the form of training data. For copyrighted characters this would mean OpenAI would be willingly feeding their LLM copyrighted images which would likely open them up to legal action.

Is not that you can't draw one, but CHATGPT can't do it for you.

I once asked ChatGPT to generate some random numerical passwords as I was curious about its capabilities to generate random data. It told me that it couldn't. I asked why it couldn't (I knew why it was resisting but I wanted to see its response) and it promptly gave me a bunch of random numerical passwords.

Wait can someone explain why it didn't want to generate random numbers?

[–] [email protected] 58 points 7 months ago (2 children)

It won't generate random numbers. It'll generate random numbers from its training data.

If it's asked to generate passwords I wouldn't be surprised if it generated lists of leaked passwords available online.

These models are created from masses of data scraped from the internet. Most of which is unreviewed and unverified. They really don't want to review and verify it because it's expensive and much of their data is illegal.

Also, researchers asking ChatGPT for long lists of random numbers were able to extract its training data from the output (which OpenAI promptly blocked).
