It's not simply a given that using copyright material to train a model is copyright violation.

In my view it isn't. No one image contributes a significant amount, and the process the machine is doing it analogous to that a human does when the human learns.

It is likely legal, but is it ethical? If it is not ethical, should it be legal?

We do tend to treat humans differently based on them being sentient beings with a limited lifespan, not machines.

I strongly (actually very strongly) feel that it is ethical.

I also feel that the act of producing plagiarized content is unethical, immoral and I'd be supportive of new concepts in intellectual property law that make it illegal too.
