When is the AI copyright apocalypse going to occur? We have AI models trained on thousands of TBs of dubiously sourced data. This leads it to be a proceduralized plagiarism and copyright evasion system.

Obviously not everyone has done this. Can we prove people did or didn't though?

Here is a list of some of the suits:

Kind of interesting.

If the legal stuff sways toward big corps being able to walk all over copyright. Then this will cause a wave of reactions in the OSS community. I could see github be severely reduced in size. OSS licenses would change to include AI terms. Companies would be less willing to donate time and money to OSS projects. It could upset the industry. Then again, if I release something OSS. How much will I care if it gets used if its MIT? gcc licensed projects would be pretty pissed though.

Yes. They are pissed off nowadays.

And if laws are passed to prevent them from doing so, they will claim doom and gloom.

In the end, capitalist world. They made profit through dubious, non regulated practices.

They have no point now to complain against anti-freeloader measures.

If that passes through, all my code committed to public repos will contain deliberate, exploitable vulnerabilities.

And then, capitalism will rein them in, in time.

Intellectual property is retarded.

You wouldn't download a car, would you?

And AI 'abuse' is rampant in colleges. All you need is to copy the assignment into the chat and it spits out a paper, complete with the citation.

My daughter had a paper due, mostly her opinion on the subject (no AI, all details cited) and her professor ran it through an AI checker and said 63% of her paper was AI generated and 33% plagiarized. Prof told her if the class was a 200 level or higher, she would have gotten a zero and subject to collegiate discipline (including being kicked out).

This was an *opinion* paper. I proofread the paper before submitting and I couldn't find anything besides 'big words' that could have flagged AI (told her she should be flattered).

*I* wanted to fight it, but, TL;DR, told it would be best to run everything through the various AI/plagiarism checkers before submitting in the future.

What do you do when the AI checkers fail to check other AI? It's not like these professors are smart enough to question it.

@PaperTrail what a shit world. If AI checks everything ever written then of course things are going sound similar. This kind of use for AI seems abusive. The AI should be on the hook of showing proof of wrong doing. This is a court with no due process.

@PaperTrail if I was dealing with this shit then I would invent a writing dialect for myself. It would be understandable, but purposely sound odd. I would dig up words not in common use. It would be obvious it was unique. It would also be obvious if anyone copied me. I would bend the rules on grammar hard.

@Demolishun > "This is a court with no due process."

In her computer class, I helped her write some of the technical details in the system design portion, so for grins I ran it through the free AI checkers I could find. 3 out of the 5 said the paper was between 10 and 33% AI generated, and 100% came from my brain (systems design is kinda my job).

Should I be flattered? Should I be pissed? If I were a student and got a zero because some system said I cheated, there is no 'proof' of comparison like plagiarism (where you can visual see a 1:1 coping of material).

These professors at her school would simply say "Duh...um.. computer say cheat so you cheat..duh...um...orange man bad" *

* Not all the profs there are dolts, but some have a tremendous amount of difficultly answering basic questions.
