You already likely do. Every book you read and learned from is copyrighted material. Every video you watch on YouTube and learned from is copyrighted material.
The “without permission” is not correct. You’ve got permission to watch/listen/learn from it by them releasing it and you paying any applicable subscription etc costs. AI does the same.
By "use" I actually meant "reproduce portions of" and "make derivative works of"

So abolish copyright law entirely instead of only allowing theft when capitalists do it.

if i learn a book by heart, and then go around making money by reciting it, then that's illegal. same thing.
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.

well yeah. And it has been proven time and again that they can, and do, regurgitate that training material out quite often

That is definitely one of the most cooked takes I've heard in a while.
Why would anyone create anything if it can immediately be copied with no compensation to you?

That's exactly what Meta did, they torrented the full libgen database of books.
If they can do it, anybody should be able to do it.

Creation happened before intellectual property laws existed.
Creation happens that can be immediately copied with no compensation now, open source software is an example.

How many authors do you think would have written the books they did, if they weren't able to make a living from their work? Most of the people creating works before copyright either had a patron of some description, or outright worked for an organisation.

You know that for the vast majority of human history copyright didn't exist, and yet people still created art and culture, right?
edit: If you're gonna downvote, have the balls to explain how I'm wrong.

The specific works? Who knows. It's irrelevant
My point is your original premise was wrong. Creation DID happen without IP laws. People DO create with out the need for compensation/copy protection.
I propose, people will create things because they always have.

How tf did this Ponze Scheme even get as far as the UK Prime Minister's desk?

It's not a Ponzi scheme. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's a scam and even if it was a scam that wouldn't be the type of scam that it was.
Absolute worst you could call it is false advertising, because AI does actually work just not very well.

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.

I like how their whole excuse to that was "WE DIDN'T SEED ANY OF IT BACK THOUGH" which arguably makes it even worse lol.

It doesn't. You can download anything you want, distribution is what is illegal and criminal.

The original copyright law was created to protect authors from publishers. The current law is an abomination and should be removed.

On the other hand copyright laws have been extended to insane time lengths. Sorry but your grandkids shouldn't profit off of you.
It's never the grandkids. The Beatles sold the rights to their songs.
