Of course they are. It's a total lie to use the phrase "learning". It's analogous to a distributed data flow database. It's why it needs so much RAM for reasonable performance.

They are plagiarism machines that only give useful results when regurgitating.

Better real search engines pointing to real source would be honest and more useful.

Simple fines or compensation isn't enough. They need to be opt-in only for content and all illicitly obtained content / models deleted.
