Cool, so if openAI can do it, that means piracy is legal?
How about we just drastically limit copyright length to something much more reasonable, like the original 14 year duration w/ an optional one-time renewal for another 14 years.That should give AI companies a large corpus to train an AI with, while also protecting recent works from abuse. Perhaps we can round down to 10 years instead, which should still be more than enough for copyright holders to establish their brand on the market.
I think copyright has value, but I don't think it has as much value as we're giving it.
Honestly with the current pace of cultural output we're at, even 5 years feels generous. What was made in 2019 that still seems terribly relevant... Is there still a brisk trade in Frozen II merch I'm not aware of?
Speaking as the father of a 4-year-old girl, there definitely is. Not that I disagree in principle, but it's probably a bad example.

Yeah nah, bad e.g. but I'm not convinced 5 years is too short.
