We would have to change the law to allow the kind of ‘inspiration’ you are talking about, which is why there are multiple lawsuits here. That’s what OpenAI is asking for - redefinition of ‘fair use’. NNs aren’t copying ideas, they train on what copyright calls ‘fixation’ - they deal with text, audio, and pixels, not ideas. We keep hoping and looking for understanding in the NNs, but we have ample evidence that they don’t actually understand much, if anything, they are just really good at copying in a way that make understanding seem plausible to the layperson.
