Transcript context

…Should a co-authored book with an LLM have First Amendment protections? Again, you have such a book: Impromptu. I’d say the LLM shouldn’t have First Amendment, but I think co-authors — I can own the First Amendment protection. It’s what I say. But it can always hire a co-author for some nominal sum, where the co-author adds a few words. It’s a co-authored output. Once you allow the co-authored work through the door, anything can be co-authored, and who knows who did how much of the work. You’re granting First Amendment rights to LLMs, which maybe I’m fine with, but is that an implication?…
