Almost every article I read on fair use talked like I could only use small amounts while not competing with them. AI people focus on a tiny number of precedents that they stretch very far. A reasonable person wouldn’t come up with their interpretation of fair use after looking at how most examples play out in court.

It shouldn’t surprise the writer that the AI companies’ versions of fair use didn’t hold much weight. They should assume that would be true. Then, be surprised any time a pro-AI ruling goes against common examples in case law. The AI companies are hoping to achieve that by throwing enough money at the legal system.
