    If I scrape a bunch of data, put it in a database, and then make that database queryable only using obscure, arcane prompts: Is that a derivative work permitted under fair use?

    Because if you can get chatgpt to spit out raw training data with the right prompt, it can essentially be used as a database of copyrighted stuff that is very difficult to query.

      No because that would be distribution, as I’ve already stated.

      If it doesn’t spit out raw data and instead changes it somehow, it’s a derivative work.

      I can spell out the distinction for you twice more if you still don’t get it.
