I'd say it can be a problem because there have been examples of getting AIs to spit out entire copyrighted passages. Furthermore, some works can have additional restrictions on their use. I couldn't for example train an AI on Linux source code, have it spit out the exact source code, then slap my own proprietary commercial license on it to bypass GPL.
Examples that have turned out to either be a result of great effort to force the output to be a copy, a result of poor training techniques that result in overfitting, or both combined.
If this is really such a straightforward case of copyright violation, surely there are court cases where it's been ruled to be so? People keep arguing legality without ever referencing case law, just news articles.
That's literally still just copyright. There's no "additional restrictions" at play here.
GPL is a license that uses copyright law as enforcement.
Yes, that's what I said. There are no "additional restrictions" from having a GPL license on something. The GPL license works by giving rights that weren't already present under the default copyright. You can reject the GPL on an open sourced piece of software if you want to, but then you lose the additional rights that the GPL gives you.
