Whether it violates the GPL aside, is there a need for a new license that explicitly forbids what OpenAI has done?

No, either this is fair use, so no license is required, or the current licences must be followed (including attribution which seems like the first thing that gets forgotten).

But if this is fair use, doesn't it mean that copyright is essentially dead? As in, LLMs are then a big copyright-laundering machine?
