OpenAI now needs to go to court and argue fair use forever. That's the burden of our system. Private ownership is valued higher than anything else so ... Good luck we're all counting on you (unfortunately).
The amount of second hand content an LLM needs to consume to train inevitably includes copyrighted material. If they used this thread, the quotes OP included would end up in the training set.
The amount of fan forums and wikis on copy written material provide copious amounts of information about the stories and facilitate the retelling. They're right that it is impossible for a general purpose LLM.
My personal experience so far though has been that general purpose and multiple modality LLMs are less consistently useful to me than GPT4 was at launch. I think small, purpose built LLMs with trusted content providers have a better chance of success for most users, but we will see if anyone can make that work given the challenge of bringing users to the right one for the right task.

Further, OpenAI writes that limiting training data to public domain books and drawings "created more than a century ago" would not provide AI systems that "meet the needs of today's citizens."
OpenAI responded to the lawsuit on its website on Monday, claiming that the suit lacks merit and affirming its support for journalism and partnerships with news organizations.
OpenAI's defense largely rests on the legal principle of fair use, which permits limited use of copyrighted content without the owner's permission under specific circumstances.
"Training AI models using publicly available internet materials is fair use, as supported by long-standing and widely accepted precedents," OpenAI wrote in its Monday blog post.
In August, we reported on a similar situation in which OpenAI defended its use of publicly available materials as fair use in response to a copyright lawsuit involving comedian Sarah Silverman.
OpenAI claimed that the authors in that lawsuit "misconceive[d] the scope of copyright, failing to take into account the limitations and exceptions (including fair use) that properly leave room for innovations like the large language models now at the forefront of artificial intelligence."

OpenAI's notion of "fair use": military and weapons
Those type of companies are getting so f*****g disgusting.
