I am genuinely not sure if you just ignored all that I said or if it is your way of saying "it is fine for me if the very concept of copyright is dead".

You've said nothing of note. I honestly don't care about your personal feelings about copyright. All I was doing was clarifying the issue I was originally addressing because you replied to me about something different.

Right, at least that's clear now. You said that "It's practically a non issue that people are blowing out of proportion", I believe that the end of copyright is not a non-issue.
But yeah, ignoring the issues others have is a good way of living in a world with no issues at all.
1. The LLM might output GPL (or other restricted) code if you turn off the filters.
This one I see as a non issue.
2. The LLM benefited from GPL code and various copyrighted content in its training.
This is more complicated and for the courts to decide. My personal opinion is that as long as you as the end user are not publishing the output copyrighted content it shouldn't matter, and if you are then the owner of that copyright should pursue justice through the existing processes.
