> fwiw, I mostly agree with you (ai training stinks of some kind of infringement), but legal precedent is not favouring copyright holders at least for now.

I know. I am describing how it should be.

Copyright was designed in a time when concealing plagiarism was time-consuming. Now it's a cheap mechanical operation.

What I am afraid is that this is being decided by people who don't have enough technical undersanding and who might be swayed by everyone calling it "AI" and thinking there's some kind of intelligence behind it. After all, they call genMS images/sounds/videos "AI" too, which is obviously nonsense.
