   If you're going to prompt an LLM to write me an email that you expect me to use an LLM to summarize, just email me the prompt text and save us both time and a little humanity.

     @platypus I'm gonna go further and say that they are legally obligated to provide you the prompt text on demand.

     See, the entirely LLM, and any output it produces, are derivative works of everything in the corpus.

     A lot of the works in the corpus are covered by GPL.

     A condition for distributing a derivative work is including an offer for the *source code*, defined as the preferred form for modification.

     The source code to the slop email they sent you is the model plus the prompt.

     Checkmate, slop-vomiting bastards.

     @platypus "Dear [AI slop spammer],

     It appears the email you sent to me is a derivative work of copyrighted material, some of it covered by the GNU General Public License, incorporated without authorization into a large language model. As such, to avoid liability for copyright infringement, you are required to provide 'source code', in the form of the prompt string you used and any other instructions needed to reproduce the output, to any party to whom you have conveyed this derivative work.

     Please send me these materials ASAP. Thank you for your cooperation."
