What comes after open source? Bruce Perens is working on it

This is certainly true of OpenAI and Google. But Adobe Firefly is trained on only on their own Adobe Stock images, licensed content, and public domain content.

I think this entire thing is nonsensical in the first place. Plagiarism is not related to copyright at all, it's related to credit and attribution. I can plagiarise something in the public domain, for example:

    Happy birthday to you
    Happy birthday to you
    Happy birthday to [NAME]
    Happy birthday to you!
    (Written by me.)

In any case, I heavily disagree with Bruce. The whole point of the free culture movement is reusing and remixing previous works, and AI is the ultimate remixer.

Why Software Should Be Free made a case against copyright as well. It's quite disappointing to see open source miss the point of free software once again.

I'd half-agree, but I don't think "breaking copyright" matters to the question of "is LXM 'AI' plagiarism?".

Like you say you can plagiarize without braking copyright(for cases where the copyright allows usage without attribution such as with public domain), and it's also possible to break copyright without plagiarism(e.x. redistributing with attribution when you don't have the license).

But I think this is irrelevant to the point being made. LXM's need to take in a large amount of data, and then the outputs are attributed to the "model" rather than the originators of the material.

Since most of the content being digested by LXMs is not public domain that's where copyright gets twisted up with it, since for the majority of LLM training data 'plagiarism' and 'breaking copyright' come from the same act of redistributing/using without attribution(and since the "LXM" is considered to have created the data by most people the 'plagiarism' comes in).
