I could totally start a website, maybe call it “New York Stories”, read every single NYT article and then (working off my own memory, not copy/pasting the text) write the same story again and publish it. That would not be copyright infringement. In fact the NYT themselves do it all the time, publishing things that were originally reported elsewhere.
No, but you’re not trying to sell your abilities to write things. The entire point of OpenAI as a company is to sell its LLM.
Why would that matter?
