It seems that US Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch and I are in agreement -- I have long claimed that the output of a bot is a speech act by its creator. If my bots say something shitty, that is on me. I think the creator of an AI should be liable for its outputs.

Opposing arguments are like this one, also quoted from the Washington Post article above:
"generative AI typically produces content only in response to prompts or queries from a user; these responses could be seen as simply remixing content from the third-party websites, whose data it was trained on"
If you are taking that broad a definition of "it's just a remix" then buddy, I have news for you about literally all creativity, language, and culture. By that logic, no one is liable for anything
Obligatory reference to "Everything is a Remix":
