you explain it better than I. My idea is that, relative to AI, you can either go with: "this thing is simply an array of numbers, I'm not infringing anyone's copyright by creating this model". Or you can go with "this creation is mine, I made it, you cannot use it". Because you cannot basically create a program that can spit copyrighted work and then claim that the thing is yours. That is not going to fly.

Because if you do that, then all I have to do to pirate a book is train a model on that book and sell the trained model as mine, which does not make sense.
