Making a movie that has basically the same plot as a previous movie with slight changes is a common occurrence.
The thing you have to be wary of with movies is trademark law. Your Star Wars copy can't use the word "Darth Vader", that's trademarked. It can't use Darth Vader's mask, Darth Vader's suit or Darth Vader's breathing either, all trademarked. And with trademark law the bar to pass is basically "would a reasonable but uninformed consumer be at risk of confusing your product for the trademark". LLMs can't launder that for you. You have to make actual changes, like Spaceballs did
Spaceballs is a parody, which is specifically an exception to the rules; it’s called “fair use”. If Spaceballs was not a comedy, it would not be permitted to exist.
The alternative is that you are not easily replaceable, which means that moi2389 is the one who doesn't get to do the work. Which is good for moi2388, perhaps, but what about moi2389? Either way someone is going to be left out in the cold.

LGTM. copyright laws don't matter anymore.
Only for the billion $ LLM companies that pay dear leader

hear hear, and good riddance too.
The only good thing to come out of AI.
How is this good? Copyleft licenses are also being ignored.
Patents and copyright stifles innovation. Knowledge should be communal and free.
> Knowledge should be communal and free
I agree, which is why I license my work under copyleft licenses such as AGPLv3 so that anyone has to make their modifications public too.
I think LLMs (especially closed-source models) will make this worse.
Free and communal knowledge means you're easily replaceble by someone else.
I wonder what communal answer you have for someone who would say, "moi2388, your work will be now done by moi2389. Thanks and good bye."

moi2389 should research the market and create a new value, not replace someone else by providing the same value.
Star Wars itself is a rewrite of King Arthur stuff so go right the fuck ahead.
