Reply to comment by slashinvestor in This Copyright Lawsuit Could Shape the Future of Generative AI by Soupjoe5

It is important to understand that copyright does not protect ideas but only particular expressions of ideas ('works'). As such, it is not copyright infringement when subsequent authors independently 'create' existing works.

This lawsuit is going to define that. And as such you are simply making my point.

If an AI machine learns specific code, and uses that specific code to create another piece of code then that is copyright infringement. That is the entire point of the argument.

A human on the other hand uses judgement and abstraction, AI does not.

The AI used is a grand neural network and as such it is incapable of original thought. That type of network is not physically capable of expressing unique out of the box thought that it did not learn. We humans call them brain farts.
