FTR, I didn't mean to join the entire discussion, just to address a minor point about copyright within your earlier post. I don't really know what the proof standards and requirements look like, I just know that independent works, no matter how similar, aren't supposed to infringe each other's copyrights. this fact has nothing to do with LLMs. using LLMs may bring about doubts about authorship, provenance, and independence, but those don't favor claims of infringement between works made supposedly-independently with LLMs. which is not to say that they can't both be found to infringe on other preexisting works used for training the model; there's plenty of uncertainty there.
