Meta's Llama 3.1 AI Model Memorizes 42% of Harry Potter Book

Imagine teaching a robot to read, and it starts copying a book word-for-word!

A new study found that Meta's Llama 3.1, an AI model, has memorized a big part of a Harry Potter book.

This means it can repeat lines from the book very easily.

Researchers tested different AI models and found that Llama 3.1 did this more than others.

This is a problem because AI companies are being sued for using copyrighted books to teach their models.

The study helps understand how often AI copies from books, raising questions about whether it's allowed to use copyrighted material.
