>Yes, it does. Tools compete with Tools. Operators of tools compete with other tool operators. The tool doesn't compete in the same market as the operator. Lowering the barrier of entry for being a tool operator is cool and good actually. >You do not have to reproduce sources in their entirety to produce derivative works. True, but if there's no great % of the original in the derivative it doesn't matter. Like you need to actually make the positive case clearly demonstrating the wounded party or its just noise. This actually happened one time, where a legal firm loaded another parties data into an LLM and had it regenerate the data. Judge found that the result infringed despite the LLM use, which makes sense. But pointing at some weird AI generated boomer comic you cant identify any wounded party. Its slop made from enough unique sources that there's no victim, much like most derivative art forms. Making something that's 0.1% like 1000 different sources * random noise is unable to cause injury. Its not recognizably derivative in any sense except for style which isn't protected.
