Pay for the service, or move on to something else. Whining over a free service not giving you what you want is dumb.

The days of FREE! to build subscriber numbers are past. Companies want paying subscribers and actual income, not just subscribers to sell investors on the idea that someday, maybe, they can turn a profit.

I have more karma than you have accounts with mod points, buddy...

Can't seem to get sufficient funding from sources in America.

But this is a source in America....

Huawei gives money to a non-profit research foundation in America, and then that American foundation gives the freshly-laundered money to researchers to fund their work.

The problem comes when the research results are shared back to Huawei by the foundation. Depending on the type of research, this could be a serious federal crime.

Otherwise, it is legal.

TLDR: Money in = Good. Research out = Bad.

I mean, if those AI products use copyrighted data in coming up with their responses without citation, that is a copyright violation.

Except that it is not. Using copyrighted data is not a copyright violation (with or without citation).
Republishing copyrighted materials (or a substantial portion thereof) without a license is a copyright violation.
(There can be a fair-use exception if it is "transformative" as opposed to "derivative" -but this would be subject to interpretation.)

I hope that this goes to trial -I want to hear the legal arguments:

According to the law as written, it is not technically a violation. [republishing is not occurring]
But it could be interpreted as a violation of the intent of copyright law... [to allow authors and artists to afford to continue creating works]
but that interpretation would itself be a violation of the stated purpose of copyright law. [to promote the advancement of science and the useful arts]
