I strongly disagree with this. We shouldn't create new laws for new technology by making analogies to what's allowed under old laws designed for old technology.

I strongly disagree with this. We shouldn't create new laws for new technology by making analogies to what's allowed under old laws designed for old technology. If we did, we would never have come up with copyright in the first place.
600 years ago, people were allowed to hand-copy entire books, so they should be able to do it with a printing press right? It's "just a tool"!
The correct way to think about this is to recognize that society needs people to create training data as well as people to train models. If we don't reward the people who create training data, we disincentivize them from doing so, and we'll end up in a world where we don't have enough of it.
