Ugh, this is the result of a "right to copy" and capitalism rears its ugly head with systems that can ingest massive quantities of information. Where this can lead to, I see, is that Universities and companies will move to claim "ownership" of their students thoughts and content, no matter how far away they are from that institution. I know my username is "pierat", for obvious reasons... but sharing and learning from information is not just human, but most animals do this. And we all learn from our experiences and from what others do. Even reading stories gives us new ideas how to do things and think about stuff, yet nobody would say anything about inspirations stemming from experiencing content... even though if there's no "copyright" on our minds eye. Now, we have what amounts to a simulacrum that has no real personality of its own, with the crystallized knowledge from terabytes of sources publicly available online. And it's mostly similarly functional to a young human in terms of connections and understanding (not much). If the plaintiffs win, that sets the stage of IPR ownership of human and similar minds. If OpenAI wins, it means mass consumption of any data, anywhere, to be fed into a system for the profit of a very few. Either way, we the public lose.
