<p>If it’s before publication date, does that prove the author used AI inappropriately in their writing?<p>Not really, there are any number of reasons why they might do that.<p>In my own personal writing, sometimes I run it through LLMs to give grammar or writing suggestions.</p>

<p>1.  AI company buys and trains on an author’s book when it gets published, it’s now part of the training data.<p>2.  Attacker asks the LLM for the opening sentences of the book, it goes into the generated responses database.<p>3.  Later, a malicious user shows that the first few sentences of the authors book are identical to a previously generated response.</p>

<p>No, you cannot retroactively make something a crime as you have found.<p>That way lies madness.<p>If the govt could do that, they could arrest anyone, anytime simply by making whatever they did yesterday retroactively illegal.</p>

<p>There are bunch of tabletop wargames, but Warhammer has the network effect going for it.<p>If you want to go the local hobby store and play a game, most other people are playing Warhammer, that’s what you play too.<p>You might prefer Bolt Action, but if nobody else in town has a Bolt Action army, it’s an uphill climb.<p>I recently attended a big Wargaming convention.  While all sorts of games were present and being played, 40K has orders of magnitude more people playing it.</p>

<p>I’m not following your line of reasoning, can you clarify?<p>Is the argument that it was MS responsibility to bake something like this in at the OS level?  And if they did it would be more robust?<p>I’m not sure I agree.  MS has already gotten in trouble for monopolistic practices before, so from a legal standpoint, I’m not sure that’s the best course of action.</p>
