    Calling the Scarlett Johansson lawsuit “Manufactured Drama” is certainly a take. A bad one, that is.

    Just like the lifting of a famous actress voice, one has to wonder how much LLMs are siphoning the intellectual property of the little-people of the open source world and willfully tossing the license and attribution clauses down the toilet. If they were willing to do it to a multi-million dollar actress, what makes people think that the intellectual property theft doesn’t go much further?

    Anyway, I think for this reason it’s actually really important to note that Junior Devs are much less likely to cause this type of issue for large companies. The question is whether the lawsuits from improper licensing cost more to settle than it costs to hire Junior devs, which brings us roughly to where the international outsourcing phenomenon brought us. At least, IMO.

      i personally don’t think they sound similar lol, and they’ve testified that they hired someone. by manufactured it may be insinuating that openai hired someone to come up with some promotional drama that won’t get them into legal trouble.
