That's like saying that taking a sample from a song and putting it in a remix is just a different way of storing the original song. If I cut the original song up just right and put enough samples across different songs...

The issue here really lies in "yeah so how actually DOES this make a difference" legally speaking. It just seems unfair that I'm not allowed to copypaste a text verbatim or upload a movie to youtube that I don't own the copyright for, yet OpenAI can happily commercialize on content that has been sorted and rated for quality by someone else.

The question is "are they allowed to do this under the umbrella of current copyright legislation?" and the answer has far reaching implications.
