    and now it can produce books, music, or art in your style, then yeah its infringement

    Seems like the opposite. Keeping the same legal considerations, but replacing LLM with a person

    if I feed an imitator your work and now they can produce books, music, or art in your style, then yeah its infringement

    producing a derivative work with substantial changes (like a new idea) is a classic, time-tested way to produce similar work while upholding copyright. If that’s not infringement when ordinary people do it, then how is that infringement for LLMs?

      Not really at all.

      Fifty shades of grey had to change its entire setting and characters to get published. I can’t just produce princess monoke two and not get sued.

      I can’t even sell t shirts with either on via etsy or similar without risk. Yet I could steal studio ghibilis art style with zero talent involved using a llm to advertise my business, seemingly perfectly legal right now.
