When it comes to AI art (or "art"), it's hard to find a nuanced position that respects creative workers' labor rights, free expression, copyright law's vital exceptions and limitations, and aesthetics.

I think you miss two key points in here.

  1. No mention of "commercial impact" prong of fair use - LLMs directly diminish the market for the original works (esp. stuff like promoting midjourney with "in the style of X").
  2. The memorization problem isn't easy - it's impossible. LLM providers today are accounting for it on a vanishingly small number of potential outputs, and it's not by altering the models (they basically can't). It's by slapping output filters on at the end.
