All of these involve the reproduction of the thing. Training an AI model isn't responding the art. I can also*do* all of those things, I just can't sell it.

Not "use for training an AI model" right. It's not similar to using it in a movie or a "derivative work" either. Those almost always actually contain the work. The only valid argument here are times than an AI model does reproduce the original, otherwise copyright has no domain of the use of images for training, unless you illegally downloaded the images, which you didn't if you used LAION, since it's all just public image links.
