> filtering a bunch of data through a neural network somehow clears the copyright of that original data There are two kinds of data - the idea and the expression. You can protect expression, but can't stop AI from learning the ideas. This is not "clearing the copyright", it is fair use of the data. Eventually it will even learn how many fingers and heads to draw on a human - the kind of "idea data" you can't copyright. We should stop mixing together idea and expression. Ideas are not owned by anyone. The real question is what criteria and threshold to use for judging infringement, so AI people can get on to making safe models. Besides ideas, you can't copyright recipes, APIs and purely functional/obvious code.
