Labs' safety commitments cover catastrophic risks, not policing copyright, argues researcher

adamamcbride argues that labs' "responsible for safe models" commitments are really about catastrophic risks, not "making sure users don't generate copyrighted material." Copyright infringement — if it's even happening — isn't a physical danger, a big difference that the tool maker shouldn't get to decide. Copyright is for the courts to figure out, not for the tool to tell users what they can or cannot make.
