Just like with guns, AI is a crime of scope.

I can be a murderer with a knife, sure, but how many people can I kill? How many people can I kill if I have a class three license an a full auto gun?

I can pirate a news article here or there, sure, but how many news articles can I pirate? How many news articles can I pirate with AI?

> How many news articles can I pirate with AI?

Not much more than with a bash/curl loop. Which, on one hand, AI can write for you, but on the other hand, AI will make you no longer need to pirate those articles in the first place.

Also it's not end-user piracy being discussed - it's the act of training AI itself that's accused here to be "robbery of our culture".
