There are potential arguments to say one should be able to use copyrighted material to train a model, but it’s a very slippery slope that leads to logic that also says the resulting models shouldn’t be protectable intellectual property.

Thus these arguments could backfire on those making them real quick. At this point though they have no choice but to make them as they’ve all clearly used copyrighted works to build their products.

The other challenge here is there needs to be some protection and compensation for folks producing original works in the first place. If we just end up with ML models training on the generated output of other ML models this is all going to go downhill real quick.
