So, the judge says:
In cases involving uses like Meta’s, it seems like the plaintiffs will often win, at least where those cases have better-developed records on the market effects of the defendant’s use.
And what is that supposed to ever look like? Do authors need a better developed record of effects of movies on book sales, to get paid for movie adaptations, too?
I appreciate the sentiment but I also hate the whole “AI is a power loom for coding”.
The power loom for coding is called “git clone”.
What “AI” (LLM) tools provide is just English as a programming language with plagiarized sum total of all open source as the standard library. English is a shit programming language. LLMs are shit at compiling it. Open source is awesome. Plagiarized open source is “meh” - you can not apply upstream patches.
