They're not saying LLMs are bad, they're LLMs trained on copyrighted works are.

What's the alternative? Only mega billion corporations and pirates should be allowed to train AI? See how much worse that is?

I never implied you did. I'm commenting on the flaws of their reasoning which clearly indicates that its a whole lot of grift.

I fail to see how training an LLM in any way discourages authors from producing or distributing new works, which is ostensibly the intent of copyright law.
