Not a lawyer, but seems like the law on copyright and fair use is not that clear cut. It comes down to arguments and how well they resonate. The lawsuit here argues all possible sides - producing content verbatim, summarizing an article (wirecutter), and then also hallucinations about the stories and brand names. All three are done by journalists themselves anyway, so a favorable verdict opens them up to a lawsuit?
Anyway, we tend to forget that there are countries outside USA who can make laws too. And they will do. What if, one country happily says training content for LLMs is not copyright violation (like Japan was rumored to do)? That is an answer I am more interested in finding out. Any country that passes that law would see massive investment (esp if other countries deem it a violation). That would just mean tech + investments + innovation going out of USA. A recent trend here is approach of France towards regulating AI in common EU laws[1].
