Yes, I meant when working on the same thing (which has a specific value as a whole).
If the LLM and its output are based on 10^12 hours of work, out of which 10^6 is working on the code of the LLM itself and 10^12-10^6 (so roughly still 10^12) is working on the training data, does it make sense for only those working on the 10^6 to be compensated for the work?
I think there is a problem with your initial position. Nobody is entitled to compensation for simply working on something. You have to work on things that people need or want. There is no such thing "fair compensation".
It is "unfair" to take the work of somebody else and sell it as your own. (I don't think the LLMs are doing this.)
