“Taking” is doing a lot of work there, and fundamentally the issue at heart.
What would be the most politically correct word to use? To most people, taking without consent or credit is considered theft.
But apparently to AI enthusiasts, such an insinuation is offensive.
"Copyright violation" is probably the wording you're looking for. Copyright violation is not taking or theft or stealing or any of those other words - it's copyright violation.
Whether training an AI on a copyrighted work without permission of the copyright holder is a violation of copyright is something that is debatable. But it most definitely is not stealing or theft. Theft is covered by completely different laws.
Unless you feel like being a pedant, copyright infringement is also known as content theft.
