It’s not just distribution. Making unauthorised reproductions of copyrighted work is also copyright infringement.
I take your point that prosecutions are focused more on the sharers than individual downloaders, but OpenAI still infringed copyright by making unauthorised reproductions of the authors’ works (by downloading pirated copies of them).

I am not aware of a single example in the history of US copyright law where someone has been successfully prosecuted for the downloading part. If such an example does not exist, then I think it is safe to say that it is not illegal. But feel free to show me this an example. Because I have so far never heard of such a case.
