Dr. Tim Schatto-EckrodtMan hört ja oft, dass LLMs man LLMs (trotz ihrer Schwächen) gut zum Zusammenfassen von Texten gebrauchen kann. In diesem Text räumt @maartenp mit diesem Fehlglauben auf und trägt relevante Studien zum Thema zusammen.
Besonders im Bezug auf das wissenschaftliche Arbeiten findet Paulusse hier klare Worte:
„Beyond hindering your own learning and research, using AI-generated summaries can also have long-term consequences for the collective scientific endeavor. Because once misinformation from AI-generated summaries remains uncorrected and seeps into published theses, research papers, and other outputs, it could contribute to a loop of misinformation.“
Are AI-generated summaries suitable for studying and research?
Despite didactic, ethical, and environmental concerns, the use of GenAI is on the rise in academia. For most applications, the jury is still out on whether and how they will benefit education and research in the long term. But it’s already safe to conclude that one popular use case is, in fact, a bad one: AI-generated summaries.

YouTube is now using AI to alter people's videos without permission. (There are threads about this at https://mastodon.content.town/@operationpuppet/115640694705318541 & https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/@strypey/115598837629003478 etc) This is really disturbing and dangerous. It's more insidious than censorship because viewers cannot tell a video has been altered. If you post to YouTube, I'd strongly recommend you start ALSO posting to PeerTube, either on your own server or a public server. There's a complete guide here: ➡️ https://fedi.tips/how-to-publish-videos-and-audio-on-peertube #PeerTube #YouTube

petersuber31. Another US federal judge has ruled (Oct 27) that AI-generated summaries might infringe the copyrights on the original works.

Again, the AI company (in this case #OpenAI) has merely lost a motion to dismiss. The court has not yet ruled on the merits.
Again, I acknowledge that if this result survives, it would undermine my thesis in this thread.
My take is that it won't survive because it disregards the idea/expression distinction fundamental to copyright law. Or if it does survive, it will overturn the fundamentals of copyright law.
Here are some comments that support my take.

Rui CarmoI wrote a thing. Well, actually it's been written for a year or so, but it's mostly cleaned up now, although if you break it, you get to keep all the pieces:
30. A US federal district court just ruled that paraphrases or summaries by the #AI tool #Cohere might infringe publisher copyrights on the original full texts.

Here's the Nov 17 decision by the federal district court for the Southern District of NY.

PS: This could undermine my thesis in this thread. But it doesn't undermine it yet. As I pointed out in the second post, "If a paraphrase doesn't use the original expression or track it too closely, then it doesn't infringe. If it does track the original too closely, it might count as a derivative work." The question in this case is whether some Cohere summaries were too close to the originals. Cohere lost a motion to dismiss, and now the court will investigate the "substantial similarity" claims on the merits. If the publishers win, we'll learn more about where the line is, not that there is no line.
