Children also learn to reading and writing using copyrighted works, often from borrowed books that they aren't paying for. Some corporations would love if everyone had to pay individually, maybe per use, to access copyrighted material, and New York Times and American pro sport leagues would love if they could actually own recollections of copyrighted material, but neither of these is good for normal people.

OpenAI is right. Almost everything of value on the internet is under copyright, and very little on the internet has clearly and unambiguously specified licensing information. If the software can only be trained on content that clearly allows training, the model isn't going to "know" anything about anything since Steamboat Willie and it isn't going to use broken dialects of older English from being limited to only public domain works that have been digitized and made available as public domain (reprints may not be public domain).
I'm all for abolishing copyright, but at that point I'd want the models to be completely open as well.
