Part 6/13:
A fundamental divergence emerges here: humans absorb knowledge without copying or maintaining libraries of texts, whereas AI systems often do. AI training involves stored copies of vast data sets, effectively copying the original content at a library level. Courts have claimed this process is "transformative"—a legal shield that generally isn't available in traditional cases of copying. This creates a precarious legal gray area, enabling companies to justify piracy if it results in AI training, thus opening a massive loophole.
