No one knows what really happens at OpenAI rn. Over the weekend there was a series of rumors, and I couldn’t find any sources for them, so I consider them null and void. ChatGPT also has no idea:

So what ChatGPT thinks about it?

ChatGPT argues that it’s not ok to mix music by a DJ without paying to the music authors. But mixing data is complicated…

It’s an interesting view, because AI is a complex system that actually loses the information about the origin.

What’s more interesting, it’s not caused by the deficits of the technology. Technically it’s possible to…
