> Well yeah, copying a work and using it for its original expressive purpose isn’t fair use, no? You have to use it for a transformative purpose.

They transformed the weights.

Just like reading the article transforms yours.

As for verbatim reproduction, I'm pretty sure brains are capable of reproducing song lyrics, musical melodies, common symbols ("cool S"), and lots of other things verbatim too.

Those quotes from Dr. King's speech that you remember are copyrighted, you know?

This comment is just blatant anthropomorphizing of ML models. You have no idea if reading an article “transforms weights” in a human mind, and regardless, they aren’t legally the same thing anyway.

Why? A human being isn’t infinitely scalable; they’re just different. It’s the same thing as going to a movie theatre to watch a movie vs. recording it with a camera.
