On a global scale, Japan’s move adds a twist to the regulation debate. Current discussions have focused on a “rogue nation” scenario where a less developed country might disregard a global framework to gain an advantage. But with Japan, we see a different dynamic. The world’s third-largest economy is saying it won’t hinder AI research and development. Plus, it’s prepared to leverage this new technology to compete directly with the West.

I am going to live in the sea.

What's stopping somebody from making an LLM that can reproduce media that was used in its training with close to 100% accuracy? If that happens, then we'll have a copyright laundering service.

If you make it reproduce copyrighted media, it is a problem.

As long as the stuff it generates doesn't resemble any copyrighted works, even if it was trained on copyrighted works, I don't see why that should be problem.

I don't even think there's a problem recreating it, you just can't distribute it.

For personal use it's fine.

Its not like Disney is suing everyone drawing micky mouse in their personal art workbook
