How do you think LLMs work? Because you seem to think they're a big compressed folder of every content they were trained upon, thus a big permanent copyright violation.

You're probably also capable of reproducting some art off the top of your head, your existence doesn't somehow violate copyright.

Besides, anything they're reproducing is the work of very successful artists whose work is widespread. Anyone who had their worked looked at once during training isn't being affected anymore than some artist who never had anything of theirs looked at.

Also, copyright benefits big companies much more than it benefits artists, by the way. Not being able to take any art for free and requiring to pay is a great trade-off for getting a monopoly over anything they pay for. Art would still be made regardless, just like it was before and just like it is right now even when, outside of these big corporations who mostly respect it, copyright is constantly infringed upon.
