Bruh.

Yea it does.

You’re throwing prompts into a non deterministic text generator. You explicitly are not making the speech.

If the EFF gives you a template email to send to your congress-critter to opposed some terrible spyware bill, isn’t that your “speech” for the purposes of the 1st amendment? It doesn’t matter that you personally didn’t pen the words, only that (as the political ads say) “[you are] lovich and [you] approve this message”.

Why would LLM output be any different?

Is copying and pasting someone else’s words and publishing it on your website or personal profile not First Amendment protected speech?

		You’re quoting someone else’s speech. The quotation is your speech, but the literal words were not. I’m actually fine with the idea that people are quoting LLMs but there’s this conflation I find many people where they treat the LLMs output as their own literal thoughts. The language around this distinction is clunky currently so if you meant the former point I agree, but I had interpreted the comment I was responding to as the latter.

if someone asks their assistant to send you an email on their behalf, whose speech was it?

btw "non-deterministic text generator" also describes humans perfectly. if it didn't you'd be less stupid.

		> if it didn't you'd be less stupid. Hey, fuck you too buddy. And if you, as an executive with an assistant, asked the assistant to draft the speech and they added in something that got you in hot water later, I’d fully expect you as the executive to claim it was the assistants speech and in no way represented you or your firm.
