    @ogeist the point of the screenshot is simply to prove that the AI has clearly been fed the entire work.

    This lawsuit isn’t about output.

      Of course, this is about the grey area of AI. But how is the copyright infringed? Yes, the AI was fed the book, how is that different if I read the book and began writing in his style, because i have read the book, with my own different story? As in the example given.

      What if the AI was only fed 50% of the books?

        @ogeist The copyright infringement (if any) will be at the point of copying and distributing the book.

        For example if I went out and photocopied this guy’s entire novel and stapled it together and gave it to you, that’s technically copyright infringement.

        Has nothing to do with what you or I write ourselves subsequently except if what we write proves that I must have copied the book and illegally distributed it then that could be evidence.

        Plagiarism is not the only kind of copyright infringement.
