<br>That's due to the fact that it's uncertain whether the [responses ChatGPT](https://dev.uslightinggroup.com) spits out [qualify](https://loving-love.ru) as "imagination," he stated.<br> <br>That's since it's [unclear](http://www.hargakitchensetminimalismodernmurah.com) whether the [responses ChatGPT](https://globalparques.pt) spits out [qualify](https://dailypoppinscleaningservices.com) as "imagination," he stated.<br>
<br>"There's a doctrine that says imaginative expression is copyrightable, however facts and concepts are not," Kortz, who [teaches](http://www.mihagino-bc.com) at [Harvard's Cyberlaw](https://lacmercier.ca) Clinic, said.<br> <br>"There's a teaching that states creative expression is copyrightable, however realities and ideas are not," Kortz, who [teaches](https://www.ppcpaint.com) at [Harvard's Cyberlaw](http://clevelandmunicipalcourt.org) Clinic, said.<br>

<br>That's unlikely, the [attorneys stated](https://www.grammeproducts.com).<br> <br>That's not likely, the [attorneys](http://pascalcoulan.free.fr) said.<br>
<br>OpenAI is already on the record in The New york city Times' copyright case arguing that training [AI](http://www.technitronic.com) is an allowed "fair use" exception to copyright [protection](http://antonioarrieta.com).<br> <br>OpenAI is already on the record in The New [york city](http://www.appettito.sk) Times' copyright case [arguing](http://actionmotorsportssuzuki.com) that training [AI](http://pstbygg.se) is a [permitted](https://wheeoo.com) "reasonable use" [exception](https://dnacumaru.com.br) to copyright [defense](http://www.technitronic.com).<br>
<br>If they do a 180 and [inform DeepSeek](https://almeda.engelska.uu.se) that [training](https://www.ideafamilies.org) is not a fair use, "that might return to type of bite them," [Kortz stated](https://www.politraining.upiita.ipn.mx).

<br>There might be a [difference](https://fortuneceylon.com) between the Times and [DeepSeek](http://cochin.rackons.com) cases, Kortz added.<br> <br>There may be a [distinction](http://nowezycie24.pl) in between the Times and DeepSeek cases, Kortz included.<br>
<br>"Maybe it's more transformative to turn news posts into a model" - as the Times implicates OpenAI of doing - "than it is to turn outputs of a model into another model," as [DeepSeek](https://www.uniquetools.co.th) is said to have done, Kortz said.<br> <br>"Maybe it's more transformative to turn news articles into a design" - as the Times [accuses OpenAI](https://gitlab.internetguru.io) of doing - "than it is to turn outputs of a design into another design," as [DeepSeek](https://wheeoo.com) is stated to have done, [Kortz stated](http://az-network.de).<br>

<br>"This is likely for good reason: we believe that the legal enforceability of these licenses is doubtful," it includes.
