What's the exemption? To me it seems like we're trying to do the opposite, make the laws even more stringent for AI than we do for people.
Imagine a genius person went out, trained himself by studying all the great art, and in doing so gained the ability to paint or draw in just about any style. That wouldn't be a copyright violation. In fact, plenty of people do this, or some version of it. But we say it should be illegal for AI... why, exactly? Because artists don't like it? Because it's "too good"?
If we're going to keep copyright around, then imo what should be illegal here is using the AI as tool to create copies of people's work. Like, if I go out and use AI generate a book of poetry and it's got a bunch of Beatles lyrics in it, fine, sue me.
