If Google took samples from millions of different songs that were under copyright and created a website that allowed users to mix them together into new songs, they would be sued into oblivion before you could say "unauthorized reproduction."

You simply cannot compare one single person memorizing a book to corporations feeding literally millions of pieces of copyrighted material into a blender and acting like the resulting sausage is fine because "only a few rats fell into the vat, what's the big deal"

    Terrible analogy.

    The analogy talks about mixing samples of music together to make new music, but that's not what is happening in real life.

    The computers learn human language from the source material, but they are not referencing the source material when creating responses. They create new, original responses which do not appear in any of the source material.

    "Learn" is debatable in this usage. It is trained on data and the model creates a set of values that you can apply that produce an output similar to human speach. It's just doing math though. It's not like a human learns. It doesn't care about context or meaning or anything else.

    Google crawls every link available on all websites to index and give to people. That's a better example. Which is legal and up to the websites to protect their stuff

    It's not a problem that it reads something. The problem is the thing that it produces should break copyright. Google search is not producing something, it reads everything to link you to that original copyrighted work. If it read it and then just spit out what's read on its own, instead of sending you to the original creators, that wouldn't be OK.

    The blurb it puts out in the search results is much more directly "spitting out what's read" than anything an LLM does. As are most other srts of results that appear on the front page of a google search.
