Presumably AI trainers aren't hacking into Amazon's servers to steal their copyrighted ebook files. All the data they use are publicly available to view by the AI, just as a human might view them. So I don't think your distinction is accurate. It think the question is to what degree are AI systems "inspired" by the content they are trained on, versus merely regurgitating it - to be honest, it's hard to draw a line between the two for people's creative work, never mind those of machines.

Getty and shutterstock images are watermarked and copyrighted as to not being reproduced, so , no, they are not confining themselves to copyright. Also, take 'AI' that is used currently to sell art on t-shirts for example, if you specify yellow eyes, it will show you examples of yellow eyes and you choose the one you want. The AI did not produce those samples. The AI did not learn to make pictures of yellow eyes. The AI produced samples of yellow eyes from it's repository of collected images that it did not make itself nor ask permission to use nor pay for.
