In the US, that blurb is covered by fair use. Google doesn't regurgitate the entire published work.

These many AI lawsuits will likely settle whether training LLMs falls under fair use.

Wrong. Here's Google's cache of an entire paywalled article currently on the front page of HN: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:c-xOMj...

You can get these by clicking the three dots next to any search result, expanding the options in the pop-over, and then clicking "cached."

I mean, it seems like casds of AI regurtitating entire works verbatim is pretty rare. It happens but is unusual.

And also not really what this is about. If AI was just another libgenisis it would be a lot less controversial.
