I feel like the outcome is obvious, there will be a finite list of IPs who's owners have enough money to actually sue, which will get filtered out of the output of publicly available models. They will just slap a detector model on the end of the generator to filter them out.

Private models will not care, nor will things change for IP owners with lesser power.



Many small owners together can bring a class action though


That is true and would break the prediction... here's hoping!


That seems unlikely, unless they settle out of court. And why would the NYT settle like that without receiving a billion?

Courts are likely to make generally binding decisions.


Yes, but to enforce those decisions in other cases there would still have to be other lawsuits. And I just don't see that happening on a large enough scale to change the industry

Maybe I'm wrong though


The point is that OpenAI (and others) will need to change their training pipelines to ensure there is never such a threat of a lawsuit.

Which, to be clear, is absolutely a good thing and what they should have been doing from the start.
