On the other hand, I can trivially write an "AI" program that regurgitates its exact training data, even if its internal model looks nothing like the training data. If I "train" this "AI" on the Star Wars movie, does this means I can use it to create a copyright-free copy of Star Wars? (Such an "AI" already exists.
