>What would then stop a music label from training an AI with its music catalogue to automatically generate every tune imaginable and prohibit its use by third parties? What would stop publishers from generating millions of sentences and privatising language in the process? The existing barrier we have is that, unless the music label can prove a human artist has listened to the specific song matching the artist's, there's no copyright violation. A copyright protects creators from having their work copied. It doesn't give them ownership over matching works. I'm sure there are plenty of pairs of novels with the same first sentence despite each author never having read the other's work.
