    This is a strawman.

    You cannot act as though feeding LLMs data is remotely comparable to reading.

      Why not?

        Because reading is an inherently human activity.

        An LLM consuming data from a training model is not.

          LLMs forcing us to take a look at ourselves and see if we’re really that special.

          I don’t think we are.

            For now, we’re special.

            LLMs are far more training data-intensive, hardware-intensive, and energy-intensive than a human brain. They’re still very much a brute-force method of getting computers to work with language.

        Because the LLM is also outputting the copyrighted material.
