You're viewing a single thread.
How can they prove this though? I don't think they'd have any way to. Unless OpenAI straight up admits it. But like the article mentions, the data could still have been obtained legally.
Ask ChatGPT to summarize Sarah Silverman’s book. Ask it to give you a few quotes from it.
How else would it be able to do that unless it had been trained using the book as an input.
It could have parsed it from some webpage it found, like a book review. It doesn't necessarily have to be from the book itself.
There are other ways of getting that info than actually injecting the original material.
Hmm. That's a fair point. Lol.
I suppose it's possible that it was trained on articles and such that quote/summarize the book. But what you're saying makes sense.
ChatGPT could have read 1000 other summaries of the book, it doesn't have to read the actual book to make a summary. It can just rewrite don't out the old ones.
