The issue at hand is not if some words were copied; it's a legal issue of whether that constitutes legal or otherwise fair use or not. And I'm not a lawyer, and am happy to wait for the court to decide. But to be honest, I don't really care one way or the other, since it doesn't get to the heart of the matter as I see it. To my mind, it's no different than a human with a good memory doing the same thing. Specifically, it isn't the consumption of the media that is the problem, or even remembering it very well. Rather, it is the public verbatim reproduction of it, which a human might inappropriately do as well. AI's need to be trained to avoid unfair use of source material, but I don't think that means they should be prohibited from consuming public material.
