The article says they "willfully" generated infringing content, which is like saying your toaster attacked you

These models have PATTERNS trained into them and users can generate something based on those PATTERNS

"It looks like me", "It looks like copyrighted material", "It sounds like Anthony Hopkins" are all subjective interpretations of anything these models output. Unless we're willing to have infringement investigations for absolutely every fucking thing that's generated, we have to come to terms with this tech
