A new report from plagiarism detector Copyleaks found that 60% of OpenAI’s GPT-3.5 outputs contained some form of plagiarism.
Why it matters: Content creators from authors and songwriters to The New York Times are arguing in court that generative AI trained on copyrighted material ends up spitting out exact copies.
ok, so? plagiarism is a meaningless, tenuous call that can be avoided simply with some quotation marks and a link. isn’t this supposed to unite humanity’s knowledge rather than nitter and ditter around about meaningless technicalities? it’s not writing a fucking paper (and if you copy and paste it for a paper that’s already plagiarism anyway)
if it had to remember a citation for everything it knew, it’d only be able to remember half as much information because its memory would be cluttered with useless citations that you could easily find by googling if you really cared to know. most people just want quick facts
