    But the court rulings / precedence wouldn’t care about that distinction, it just covers learning from copyrighted material in general.

      No idea about that, not a lawyer. However I think a big part is that ChatGPT would just spit out full lyrics. If you were to recreate the instructions from memory and post them online, you’d probably be in trouble too
