> The general problem of "AI"s being trained on copyrighted content > The current (legal) answer is "unclear". European Union was ahead of times for once. The 2019 copyright directive, article 4, makes it legal to scrape the web and make and keep local copies of copyrighted works, for data mining purposes. Unless the copyright holders set up a machine readable exception (such as robots.txt file). So legal in EU, "unclear" in US.
