If you write a book about carpentry, and someone checks that book out from the library, reads it

AI is not a person. That’s why its works aren’t eligible for copyright. You’re arguing that AI should have the same rights as a person in this regard and that’s not an established right, nor should it be.

Also the analogy makes zero sense. It’s more accurate to say someone checks out a book about carpentry, reads it, then writes another book on carpentry by moving the words around a bit despite knowing nothing about carpentry.

More accurately someone who knows nothing about German, writing, or carpentry but learns German and carpentry by reading hundreds of thousands of books and then decides to write a book about carpentry in German.

the AI still doesn’t learn carpentry. It just knows how books about carpentry generally read.
