No, OpenAI is not arguing this. They are not arguing anything, but just hiding their sources. Maybe they’re arguing this about using the public web as training data, but that doesn’t cover pirated books.
Yes, a model is transformative, not infringement. But the question was about the training data. Is that infringement? Distributing the Pile is a tort and probably a crime by quantity. Acquiring the training data was a tort and probably a crime. I’m not sure about possessing it. Even if OpenAI is shielded from criminal responsibility, a crime was necessary for the creation and that was not enough to deter it.

OpenAI is in fact arguing this and wrote one of the primary position papers on the transformative position.
Does this link say anything about their illegal acquisition of the sources?
It sure looks to me like you and they are lying to distract. I condemn this lying, just as I condemned Christian’s proposed lies.
