If AI companies and their benefactors are so concerned about this, they should be pushing for shorter copyright terms and more fair use exemptions. AFAIK they are not. Probably because they're hoping to lock up the AI models and possibly their output under the same onerous copyright system they flaunted when it was convenient for "training".
