Ok, so lets say you "train" and "AI" using the binary source code of windows, then ask the AI to recreate Windows.

Does that violate copyright? What if we us the binary source code of MacOS, Linux and Windows, then ask it to recreate Windows?

Does the fact that we added some other ingrediants violate the idea that the LLLM will create a substantially similar product?

I'm not defending windows, but indicting LLMs as anything but "fair use".

I don't think that's how it works. From experience from working on an experimental online learning system... it can't remember verbatim unless it is _really_ in there many many times. It can reconstruct it pretty close though.
