The AI isn't being accused of copyright infringement. Nothing is being anthropomorphized.

Wether you write a copy of a book with a pen, or type it into a keyboard, or photograph every page, or scan it with a machine learning model is completely irrelevant. The question is - did you (the human using the pen/keyboard/camera/ai model) break the law?

I'd argue no, but other people disagree. It'll be interesting to see where the courts side on it. And perhaps more importantly, wether new legislation is written to change copyright law.
