Machines aren't people. Machines don't learn. Machines copy data, manipulate and replicate it. That is copyright infringement. The laws for Machine duplication don't apply to human learning.

Machines don’t learn.

It's called https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_learning

That they actually learned to do creative writing is the shocking thing. Mediocre so far, but they will improve. And denial won't help.

Here's the summary for the wikipedia article you mentioned in your comment:

Machine learning (ML) is a field of study in artificial intelligence concerned with the development and study of statistical algorithms that can learn from data and generalize to unseen data, and thus perform tasks without explicit instructions. Recently, generative artificial neural networks have been able to surpass many previous approaches in performance. Machine learning approaches have been applied to many fields including large language models, computer vision, speech recognition, email filtering, agriculture, and medicine, where it is too costly to develop algorithms to perform the needed tasks. ML is known in its application across business problems under the name predictive analytics. Although not all machine learning is statistically based, computational statistics is an important source of the field's methods.
