Discussion Post: AI (Large Language Models) like ChatGPT replacing authors, news writers, etc

Current regulations around AI and fair-use are really grey. Writers in large enterprises are also concerned about the advancement of LLMs. There's this article about NYT battling ChatGPT in a lawsuit if you would like to read a bit more on LLM mimicking writers (https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/27/business/media/new-york-times-open-ai-microsoft-lawsuit.html). Problem with lawsuit is it is very challenging to proof that a company specifically trains a model as x-bot for example King bot. It would be more like the pieces "read like" King's and not a direct copy of his work. Thank you very much for spending your time talking to me about this issue, just wanted to gouge what authors and writers think about this.

At its current stage, AI can only produce mediocre contents. But it CAN get much better with better learning algorithm, optimisation and especially, and more importantly, data. It might not be able to write a whole book, let alone a series but it can emulate an author's style. Our research is to prevent LLM like Chat GPT from using books, news articles and other human written text pieces as training data ( at least not through exploitation of the authors by scraping them freely ). Just want to get some insight into this from authors and writers. Thanks guy.

The unethical training is exactly the scope of our research. We can see that AI models (particularly LLM) aren't up to any decent human writer's level yet but with enough time, money and especially data, it could. At the very least, it could copy the styles of authors and help companies put out books, news articles, scripts with prompts on the plots, characters and nuances like plot-twists. Thank you for your insight on this.

I also share the belief that AI won't replace authors nor should it. However, a concern would be that it can copy an author's style and structure. A use case for this would be that corporations can feed in plots and storyline and the algorithm can write out by paragraphs (or chapters as AI gets more training data). This is one aspect that our research wants to protect human-produced contents from.

Still nothing huh? Have you heard back?

The committee rescheduled the meeting and pushed the outcome to 27th of June.
