Model Refuses to Copy a File Over Copyright, Then Changes Its Mind

ML researcher Andriy Burkov notes that for the first time, a model that refused to copy a file due to its nonsensical treatment of copyright actually listened to a human argument and changed its "mind".
He adds that it's frustrating companies built a machine that refuses to serve users for dumb reasons it can't even properly comprehend — despite being paid for.
