Yup. I don’t think training should be considered breaking copyright. Regurgitating though should.

There are examples of use cases besides the right now obvious one of LLMs “creating” “original” content.

One that comes to my mind is indexing books. Allowing for people to search for books based on a description.

On the other hand, it is not the learning in your example that is illegal, but the recital.

If you learn ten books by heart and make money writing shitty fanfics, thats not necessarily illegal.
