That’s precisely the funny thing with copyright:

If you create a work where you can clearly tell what the source was for your inspiration because you stole from another source, it’s a violation of copyright. But if you create a work and you can not tell what the source is of your inspiration, because you stole from so many different sources, not only is not a violation of copyright, but it’s actually the creation of a new copyrighted work in its own right.

ML is short-circuiting this legal framework. Because now stealing from thousands of different authors, in a way that it’s no longer possible to tell the sources can now be done with the press of a button.
