I find myself in the unpopular position of thinking the correct application of copyright here is not on the consumption by OpenAI (since the information in question is freely viewable) but on the output. They already assign various scores to their output, such as how likely it is to be adult content and then actively warn or filter on that. I see them eventually needing to do the same for how closely output resembles copywritten material.
Regardless of what OpenAI does, the genie's out of the bottle on this one. In some industries, quality AI is going to be a huge factor in corporate competitiveness going forward. Regardless of how severely the US elects to slow it down inside its own borders, many other countries won't follow and will continue to use publicly accessible information in their AI training.
