They're not saying LLMs are bad, they're LLMs trained on copyrighted works are.

What's thr alternative? Only mega billion corporations should be allowed to train AI? See much worse that is?

I never said my opinion on the topic.

[–] drmoose@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I never implied you did. I'm commenting on the flaws of their reasoning which clearly indicates that its a whole lot of grift.

I fail to see how training an LLM in any way discourages authors from producing or distributing new works, which is ostensibly the intent of copyright law.
