Why doesn’t this apply to humans? If I memorize something such that it can be extracted did I violate the law? It’s only if I choose to allow such extraction to occur then I’m in violation of the law right?

So if I or an LLM simply doesn’t allow said extraction to occur, memorization and copying is not against the law.

I think an important distinction here is distribution... did you tell someone else what you memorized? Is downloading a model akin to distributing that same information?

What if I don't download the model and I just communicate with it. Sort of like chatting with another human. That's not a copyright issue right? I mean that's how most LLMs are deployed today.

My understanding is that it depends on a judge/jury's subjective opinion on how similar the output is to something copyrightable. Perhaps intent may play a role as well.
