This is simply not true. There are many things that copyright law prevents, but no copyright law goes as far as to say that all use without permission is forbidden. And no copyright law expressly forbids training AI either.

They’ve requested new rulings on Fair Use for AI, which admits they are aware they’re potentially violating existing copyright law, and are seeking to make their use legal. The copyright office says downloading movies violates copyright. https://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/faq-fairuse.html#:~:text=Uploading%20or%20downloading%20works%20protected,of%20reproduction%20and%2For%20distribution https://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/faq-fairuse.html#:~:text=.... See also (same page) “If you use a copyrighted work without authorization, the owner may be entitled to bring an infringement action against you.” > no copyright law expressly forbids training AI either. That’s irrelevant. The law covers using copyrighted material without permission. Fair Use is a type of permission, but otherwise they don’t have to specify what it gets used for.
