ChatGPT(Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer) is a new chatbot model released by OpenAI, an artificial intelligence research lab, on November 30, 2022. The model uses natural language processing tools powered by artificial intelligence technology. ChatGPT is able to conduct conversations by learning and understanding modern human language, mainly English, and can also interact based on the contextual information of the chat. It performs chatting and communicating behavior truly like a human, and even completes tasks as writing emails, video scripts, translation, and code under certain scenarios.[1]
To train the model behind ChatGPT, a huge amount of data is collected from the Internet and applied to both supervised and reinforcement machine learning techniques. The answers delivered by ChatGPT, sometimes, are highly similar to the answers online created by human authors. Other times, it summarizes multiple answers, created by human authors, from its training dataset. Whether the creation of ChatGPT is considered to have originality is highly debating. Ethical issues like copyright get more and more attention from the general public.
Copyright
Copyright refers to the ownership of a creative work. Issues of copyright are mainly related to the use, distribution and protection of creative works. Creative works can be with formats in literary, artistic, educational or musical background. Copyright is intended to protect the originality of the idea created by the author with the form of a creative work, not the idea itself.[2]
History
In the past, generative AI would not raise copyright issues. Back to 2010s, most of the AI models were still under development and had a lot of problems generating works. Their creation is far below the the human level either in complexity or in aesthetics. Models could only generate blurry artworks with black-and-white faces. Chatbots were far behind the maturity of conducting regular conversation. Generative AI had no threat to human creators at that time. But in 2022, when a lone amateur can use software like Stable Diffusion to replicate an artist's style in a matter of hours, or when companies sell AI-generated prints and social media filters that are clear imitations of the work of living designers, the issues legitimacy and ethics become more pressing.[3]
