Imagine if, after having read and trained a single, bright student through university, you could clone them a million times and get their clones to churn out content for a penny per 4k tokens.
One solution to this would be to say this:
* The copying done while training a neural net is "fair use", similar to copying the DVD into RAM and onto the screen while watching it.
* The resulting neural net is a derivative work of all copyrighted works used during its training: No copying of the derived work is allowed without permission of all copyright holders
* The output of the neural net is subject to normal copyright laws for humans: i.e., it's only a violation of copyright if it's obviously a copy.
Basically, you can either train every instance of a neural network separately (like you have to do with humans) or get a license for all your training data.
