Um, fair use is quoting a SMALL excerpt, or commenting on the piece. Fair use is not reproducing the same painting in the same style, regenerating almost verbatim large blocks of code or text, etc. But, while we can argue the boundaries of fair use all day, that is not the key point. The key point is: the argument that "3GB is too small to hold anything that could qualify as fair use" does not hold water. Just because you or I don't know how it would work, does not not mean that it cannot work. And it has indeed been shown to work in recreating art, text, and code. That OpenAI are now banning use of directives resembling "in the style of" is good evidence that they consider it a legitimate problem, although that is likely to be ultimately a speed-bump measure.
