All I want to know is if they are going to pillage people's private data and steal their creative IP or not.
Ethical AI starts and ends with open, transparent, legitimate and ethically sourced training data sets.
Using copyrighted material for research is fair use. Any model produced by such research is not itself a derivative work of the training material. If people use it to create infringing (on the training or other material) they can be prosecuted in the exact same way they would if they created an infringing work via Photoshop or any other program. The same goes for other illegal uses such as creating harmful depictions of real people.
Accepting any expansion of IP rights, for whatever reason, would in fact be against the ethics of free software.
Yet people are sueing because it can summarize their works
That's ridiculous as even summaries themselves are protected. You can find book summaries all across the web (say wikipedia).
I agree, but that doesn't stop people.
You're conflating AI research and the AI business. Training an AI is not "research" in a general sense, especially in the context of an AI that can be used to create assets for commercial applications.
It's not possible to research AI without training them.
It's probably also not possible to train a model whose creations cannot be used for commercial applications.
