So if I look at a painting study it and then emulate the original painter's artstyle, then I'm in breach of their copyright?

Or if I read a lot of fantasy like GRRM or JK Rowling and I also write a fantasy book and say, that they were my Inspiration, I'm breaching their copyright??

That's not how it works, and if it is, it shouldn't be!

Sure, if a start reproducing work, i.e. plagiarizing the work of others, then I'm doing sth wrong.

And to spin this further: If I raise a child on children's books by a specific author, am I breaching copyright, when my child enters the workforce and starts to earn money???? Stupid, yes! But so are the copyright claims against LLMs, in my opinion.

You're comparing something humans often do subconsciously to a machine that was programmed to do that. Unless you're arguing that intent doesn't matter ~~(pretty much every judge in America will tell you it does)~~ then we're talking about 2 completely different things.

Edit: Disregard the struck out portion of my comment. Apparently I don't know shit about law. My point is that comparing a a quirk of human psychology to the strict programming of a machine is a false equivalency.
