Yeah, that's something that I've not seen a good answer to from the "everything AI does is legal" people. Even if the training is completely legal, how do you verify that the generated output is not illegally similar to a copyrighted work that was ingested? Humans get in legal trouble if they produce a work that's too similar. Does AI not? If AI doesn't, can I just write an AI whose job is to reproduce copyrighted content and now I have a loophole to reproduce copyrighted content?
