You can scale the volume of work for a machine in a way that would be impossible with people. No amount of Mechanical Turks could make content at the rate that Generative AI systems like ChatGPT, Dall-E, etc. can.
Treating content scraped from an original source without consent as fair use for training a machine somehow seems wrong.

Seems natural that any law regarding AI copyright should take these matters into account.
