The opposite view is also valid. SEO-types will figure out on how to deploy their BS into models so that they will recommend their stuff.
As AI models tend to replace the “search” market, they will become as useless as today search tech.
If all anyone has to do to invalidate copyright law is introduce an intermediary step where it is used for a non-consumption purpose, then copyright is already dead.
It just reproduces some very very hard to quantify tiny fraction of the logic or idea of the document.
It's like saying someone is infringing copyright if it's able to recite a document they read, because it has had an unimaginably tiny effect on their general writing skills, and they're able to recite it if they're asked to.
which I’m fine with, dont think I’m trying to deter you with a slippery slope fallacy, we’re already at the bottom of it
they're using philosophical frameworks older than digital computers; which is ok, and is as should be. up to the point where those ways to understand fail to capture certain qualities of computers and digital technology which break the whole notion of copyright and have been doing it for a few decades now.
those lawmakers are using obsolete philosophy!
but we gotta wait until they all die off, is not like people, specially older people, are willing or possibly able to change how they think
I blame digital technology, it just doesn't work like the rest of reality does...
so it's correct that they do this, else they would change the meaning behind those words.
what is needed is that congress approves new philosophy so they can use it to make better (meaning up to date) laws which are appropriate for this technological epoch
and what is needed for that is that the academic community comes up with new philosophy
and what is needed for that I do not know
(1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
(2) the nature of the copyrighted work;
(3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
(4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work."

I don't know how one can read this as an impartial observer and make an honest argument that OpenAI is in the right.
Their use of copyrighted material does not fit any of the purposes enumerated in the first paragraph; it fails criteria #1 because it is of a commercial nature; it fails criteria #2 because it includes all kinds of works; it fails criteria #3 because it's not limited to very small extracts; and it fails at criteria #4 because their products are already having an obvious effect on the market.
