When I look at something I create an image of it on my retina. When a computer "looks" it creates an image somewhere. The former is allowed, the latter comes against copyright scrutiny, things like caching images to show you a webpage have been addressed by copyright law--through precedent--and this will be similarly addressed.

You can't create a NN without using a copy of the work, so copyright applies -- there might be a Fair Use exception in USA but the outputs compete with the original creators of the works and so IMO courts are likely to rule it as non-Fair Use.

This includes ideas from a Human brain so applying such laws is inconsistent. >but the outputs compete with the original creators of the works All art competes with other art. And all art is derivative of other art other things.
