seed value to determine a weighted list of likely next tokens
It’s understanding of next likely tokens are all based on it’s understanding of existing, copyrighted works. This “knowledge” didn’t come from nowhere. I understand that a collage is a transformative work of art, but a human is actually involved with making that, not a human spitting garbage at a math problem, and then the math problem probabilistically calculates the thing most likely to sound like human speech, based on that corpus of previous human speech. It wouldn’t understand what to do with words if you only fed it the dictionary.
Someone shitting dumb prompts in to it randomly does not make it human made, especially if they can’t understand the math of it. Still essentially the plot of Superman 3. If I steal just a little bit from everything, each slice will be so small no one will notice.
