I'd agree completely if these AIs were actually intelligent enough to obey copyright law on their own. (I think there's a legitimate philosophical question whether it's ok to delete a true artificial intelligence once you've created it, since that's the equivalent of killing it.) Since LLMs aren't actually intelligent and aren't trained in a way that makes it possible to inherently obey copyright law, I feel it gets a lot murkier.
