None of that responds to my point.
Firstly, US courts have no jurisdiction in most places, so what.
Twoly, copyright is governed by international treaties which *are* ultra-restrictive by their nature. Wishing it wasn't doesn't change the fact that stuff written online has automatic ownership unless explicitly unrestricted. And no, it doesn't need to be strengthened, it already is strong enough. Some say too strong.
Threely, not looking to get rid of AI, looking to make the pirate companies pay, because...The Law. If they disappear, they can be replaced by a new generation of law-abiding AI companies.
Fourly, open source code is explicitly unrestricting copyrights under specific licenses. But open source AI is no such thing, as it's initially copyright encumbered too, due to training issues.
Fifthly, do I personally care about open source AI? No. I care about scientific papers, and I care about new ideas, but I view current state of the art AI as statistical toys. I'd actually like to see *real* progress, which isn't possible as long as everyone rehashes the old ideas (with more GPUs and more bandaids).
Anyway, that's what *bad* AI means to me. That was the topic, no?

Sloppy AI generated cities would be pointless, and quite possibly misrepresenting stakeholders.

(*) There is no fair use or implied consent for documents sitting on web servers around the world. Either there's an explicit licensing agreement by the actual copyright holder that permits you to copy the file to your computer, or you're infringing, Mr AI.

Agreed. However, all a new user needs to learn to get started in a CLI is one command: man. Once you have that, and a little practice in understanding what it's saying, you've got everything you need.

Where did you get that utterly wrong idea from? Not that the Gilded Age was a time of great wealth inequality, but that it was just before the Great Depression during the Roaring Twenties, roughly a century ago. If you'd bothered to check, you'd have learned that it ran from the late 1870s through the late 1890s, decades earlier.
