In my opinion, the copyright should be based on the training data. Scraped the internet for data? Public domain. Handpicked your own dataset created completely by you? The output should still belong to you. Seems weird otherwise.

I think the issue is that it's really really hard to build a model that only uses data from one source.

But if someone/company were to provide/produce millions of pieces of their own training data they can build a model that is solely owned by them, or make that available for licensing.

But how do you prove what data gets distilled into a model? Especially if it takes an enormous amount of time and energy to build the model?

Perhaps there needs to be a way to permanently tag input information that is used to build models... and have a way to segregate/remove infringing information. Perhaps a first true usecase for crypto/NFT's.
