Its fairly correct. Theres no Open Source database of internet comments, websites, most pop art styles, troubleshooting detail, coding Q&A.
Which is why any sane country would extend fair use to all of these things no questions asked, short of 1:1 replication.
Yankistan however is not a sane country and I am expecting the outcome to these legal tests to be absolutely bonkers.

Yes, so does the guy who takes 20 public domain stories, publishes it as a collection on google books and sells it to me for 1 dollar. People act as if their models aren't hugely backed by human labor, labor that is hugely transformative and commands a decent reward.

Reddit et al. would have an issue, but they don't exactly compensate commenters to begin with either. But given that visual works are being copied and that they are being sued by NYT (who hired writers for over a century to produce what is now being scraped for free), it's clear that that wouldn't be enough. >so does the guy who takes 20 public domain stories, publishes it as a collection on google books and sells it to me for 1 dollar. curation is a lucrative business in the Information Era, so if there's no licensing issue I don't see the issue. I've spent days, weeks researching various problems and I'd happily pay a dollar for someone to collect a dozen good sources into one place to save me that time. If all of OpenAI's content was public domain, there would be no lawsuit.
