While I generally agree with you, this "LLM is a human" comparisons really are tiresome I feel. It hasn't been proven and I don't know how many other legal issued could have solved if adding "like a human" made it okay. Google v Oracle? "oh, you've never learned an API??!?" or take the original Google Books controversy - "its reading books and memorizing them, like humans can". I do agree its different but I don't like this line of argument at all.
I agree, that's why I was trying to point out that saying "if a person did that we'd have a word for them" is useless. They are not people, and people don't behave like that anyway. It adds nothing to the discussion.
