[QUOTE="RareBreed, post: 9090816, member: 6945590"] I'm curious what the prompts were. I haven't actually found the prompts used to make LLMs reproduce text verbatim. Is it different than asking for a summary or reference? If the text is copied verbatim without some kind of reference in the prompt itself, that would be a problem...but also not entirely surprising. We humans do something similar all the time. We make references to pop-culture, quoting lines from a movie or book to make a point, explain something, or just be funny. Our memories aren't as good as a computer though so usually they are short phrases. Where it becomes problematic is how the capability of LLMs to memorize text is used. If I memorize a play by Shakespeare (assuming he or his estate was still around), should I pay a royalty for the fact that I memorized it for a play? So let's use a more modern example. If I memorize a role for Hamilton, should I pay Lin-Manuel Miranda a royalty or ask his permission to do so? Now, if I go and perform it at a community play, then that's where things get morally and legally dicey. But memorization in and of itself is not the issue. But more importantly, the basic premise of LLM's is that they don't copy/paste while using synonyms to file the serial numbers off to avoid plagiarism. Fundamentally, they are prediction machines and base their answers off the words in the prompt. That's why subtle tweaks to the prompt can give different results. A fascinating example was where ChatGPT was asked to solve a programming problem and failed. The prompt engineer then asked the same question but at the end added effectively "for each step, explain what this step does" and then it got it the answer right. [/QUOTE]
