You have no way of knowing that. Remember, the parent poster is referring to the current ridiculous hype + push of current AI. Current AI models were trained on copyrighted material. Lawsuits are taking place.

Many different members of the US government have indicated that just because AI is new and fancy, does not mean companies get to violate established law, including copyright. The head of the FTC was the most recent person to state this.

OpenAI could very likely be sued out of existence. When that happens, all who invested in them could lose billions. The US government very likely won't intervene because there are multiple lessons to be learned from this.

Courts are there to enforce the law, regardless of how "amazing" a technology may appear.

To add something I forgot to say, yes, AI as a concept is here to stay. The current hype surrounding existing companies will not, however.
