    But you’re claiming that this knowledge cannot possibly be used to make a work that infringes on the original.

    I am not. The only thing I’ve been claiming is that AI training is not copyright violation, and the AI model itself is not copyright violation.

    As an analogy, you can use Photoshop to draw a picture of Mario. That does not mean that Photoshop is violating copyright by existing, and Adobe is not violating copyright by having created Photoshop.

    You claimed that AI training is not even in the domain of copyright, which is different from something that is possibly in that domain, but is ruled to not be infringing.

    I have no idea what this means.

    I’m saying that the act of training an AI does not perform any actions that are within the realm of the actions that copyright could actually say anything about. It’s like if there’s a law against walking your dog without a leash, and someone asks “but does it cover aircraft pilots’ licenses?” No, it doesn’t, because there’s absolutely no commonality between the two subjects. It’s nonsensical.

    Honestly, none of your responses have actually supported your initial position.

    I’m pretty sure you’re misinterpreting my position.

    The “copyright situation” regarding an actual literal picture of Mario doesn’t need to be fixed because it’s already quite clear. There’s nothing that needs to change to make an AI-generated image of Mario count as a copyright violation, that’s what the law already says and AI’s involvement is irrelevant.

    When people talk about needing to “change copyright” they’re talking about making something that wasn’t illegal previously into something that is illegal after the change. That’s presumably the act of training or running an AI model. What else could they be talking about?
