    Yes, but that model would never compete with the models that use copyrighted data.

    There is a unfathomably large ocean of copyrighted data that goes into the modern LLMs. From scraping the internet to transcripts of movies and TV shows to tens of thousands of novels, etc.

    That’s the reason they are useful. If it weren’t for that data, it would be a novelty.

    So do we want public access to AI or not? How do we wanna do it? Zuck’s quote from article “our legal framework isn’t equipped for this new generation of AI” I think has truth to it

      I mean using proprietary data has been an issue with models as long as I’ve worked in the space. It’s always been a mixture of open weights, open data, open architecture.

      I admit that it became more obvious when images/videos/audio became more accessible, but from things like facial recognition to pose estimation have all used proprietary datasets to build the models.

      So this isn’t a new issue, and from my perspective not an issue at all. We just need to acknowledge that not all elements of a model may be open.

        This is more or less what Zuckerberg is asking of the EU. To acknowledge that parts of it cannot be opened. But the fact that the code is opened means it should qualify for certain benefits that open source products would qualify for.
