Sure, but then the AI reproduces it on demand for others without giving any sort credit, often generating profit for either end user or owner. Unless you’re arguing that’s fair use, I don’t see how you get around that violating copyright. If I take somebody else’s work and pass it off as something I made you would likely treat that much less favourably, and I think that’s just another reflection of how we culturally permit the biased application of law to capital interests; Sam Altman himself publicly stated if he had to acknowledge copyright in the operation of his AI model (the same as every other major LLM owner) it wouldn’t be a viable product, which translates to “if I can’t steal this property I can’t make my billions of dollars”. You either care about property rights or you don’t, or you’re fine with a multi-tiered legal system, which I’d say is no law at all.
