The more disturbing thing about LLMs is, it's "fair-use" to scrape everything for them, but it's a liability for the user to use the code, text, whatever.
If it emits a large block of copyrighted material, you'll be again in legal hot water.
Considering even fair-use can be abused (see what GamersNexus is going through) at-will, it looks even more bleaker than at first glance.
That seems totally reasonable to me. A large part of fair use is about the purpose of the use. It seems like a reasonable compromise that what is fair use in one context might not be in another. I can't think of any alternative to fair use that would make more sense.
I think the only unreasonable part is llm companies are implicitly or sometimes explicitly advertizing their products output as being fit for use in other projects. I think that is a false advertising problem.
