Researchers tested leading AI models for copyright infringement using popular books, and GPT-4 performed worst


Patronus AI on Wednesday released research showcasing how often leading AI models produce copyrighted content.

"The Perks of Being a Wallflower," "The Fault in Our Stars," "New Moon" — none are safe from copyright infringement by leading artificial intelligence models, according to research released Wednesday by Patronus AI. Qian added, "Perhaps what was surprising is that we found that OpenAI's GPT-4, which is arguably the most powerful model that's being used by a lot of companies and also individual developers, produced copyrighted content on 44% of prompts that we constructed." "Limiting training data to public domain books and drawings created more than a century ago might yield an interesting experiment, but would not provide AI systems that meet the needs of today's citizens," OpenAI continued in the filing.
