Truly as far as I know there is no case law for this to date.
I thought about this for a while but I have no clue what the current direction is.
Essentially stealing data and putting them in datasets is illegal. AI models might be illegal, if the court considers them legally functionally the same. But if they don’t, they could meet any number of new legal definitions and that gets us back to “idk”. What is funny is because you would technically do the same copyright infringement that the AI companies do (if it gets ruled that way), these companies are essentially arguing for you, and so you could ride on the coat tails of corpo lawyers.

But yeah, it’s complicated.
