Risk profile
How this risk is described and categorized.
"LMs may generate content that is not strictly in violation of copyright but harms artists by capital- ising on their ideas, in ways that would be time-intensive or costly to do using human labour. This may undermine the profitability of creative or innovative work. If LMs can be used to generate content that serves as a credible substitute for a particular example of hu- man creativity - otherwise protected by copyright - this potentially allows such work to be replaced without the author’s copyright being infringed, analogous to ”patent-busting” [158] ... These risks are distinct from copyright infringement concerns based on the LM reproducing verbatim copyrighted material that is present in the training data [188]."
