Large AI models such as Chat GPT and Dall-E 2 have made headlines with remarkable abilities to simulate human creativity. Building these models requires huge amounts of information, much of it copyrighted works scraped from the internet. Rights holders claim that this involves infringement on a grand scale with the effect of conscripting human creators to train their replacements. Modelers argue that having to obtain permission to use all the data they need would end the development of this technology altogether. This serves as an overview of that technology and explore the issues being joined in the first wave of litigation over these models.
