So if future models are able to generalize better from much smaller amounts of data, you think that all the current concerns disappear? It doesn’t seem like a very good argument if it’s purely based on the amount of data needed to train a model.

What matters are things like where the data comes from, how similar the output is to the input, how close the result is to existing (copyrighted) work, and so on.

Simply using copyrighted work, even all copyrighted work, to train a model doesn’t, by itself, trigger any legal consequences. In that respect at least, the comment you called “child like” was correct.

My comment was simply about the parent comments exaggerated claim. I do believe it should have some consequences, what those should be I am not qualified to decide.
