    I really don’t think it should be considered copyright infringement to simply ingest data. It doesn’t infringe on copyright for a person to read a book, why should it matter if it’s a simple program or an AI doing it?

    That said, if the AI produces something in the exact words or style of a creator without attribution, just like with a person, then it should count as copyright infringement.

    It’s all about perceived harm. A creator is not harmed by an AI reading their works. But they are harmed when the AI can produce their style to potentially take business away from them.
