[QUOTE="Grendel_Khan, post: 8933710, member: 7028554"] This is a great question, and a little hard to address because the technology is such a moving target right now, but [I]officially[/I] all of these models (that we have public access to) are supposed to be trained on content that's in the public domain. But the scale of the training, and the fact that it's based on scraping the internet, means that they seem to catch a fair amount of stuff that they aren't supposed to. Do the models' makers care about that, if it makes the outputs more successful or interesting? I'd say no, but they pretend to be very concerned and interested in violating copyrights and such. Sure thing. But unless there was a change over the past week, you can absolutely ask ChatGPT to write you stuff related to Tolkien. I've seen an example of it generating a letter from the orcs to Sauron in the style of a union-related complaint. [/QUOTE]
