Even if we define “AI” as lossy storage with random error insertions, it still amounts to unlicensed reproduction.

      > its trivial to use an You mean, "a Neural Network as function approximator for the reproduction of texts". But in fact, AI cannot be confused with that idea - and be it AI ("system for the replacement of a professional"), or AGI ("system implementing intelligence"), or LLM (which can only be useful as "system with emergent properties from text generation"), "learning" is strongly opposite to "memorizing" (as would be evident in a student - trivial example, one that would memorize a multiplication but be unable to perform it). So, that somebody places a sticker on his apparel to fake a profession for «malicious act[ion]» cannot make us forget the real thing: "learning" is what is sought, and for learning we need the teaching material. ...Which, societally, is rightly decided as free (i.e. stored in libraries).
