      Fair use is any copying of copyrighted material done for a limited and “transformative” purpose, such as to comment upon, criticize, or parody a copyrighted work.

      I don’t see why it should.

        The creation of the AI model is transformative. The AI’s model does not contain a literal copy of the copyrighted work.

          No, but the training data does contain a copy. And making a model is not criticising, commenting upon, or creating a parody of it.

            That list is not exclusive, it’s just a list of examples of fair use.

            The training data is not distributed with the AI model.
