    Except no one is claiming that LLMs are the problem, they’re claiming GPT, or more specifically GPTs training data, is the problem. Transformer models still have a lot of potential, but the question the NYT is asking is “can you just takes anyone else’s work to train them”.

      There’s a similar suit against Meta for Llama.

      And yes, we will end up seeing as the dust settles if training a LLM is fair use in case law.
