I am a bit confused how it is legal for them to have the training data here?

Like is there anything a corpo can't do?

Like why can't subway Jared and Catholic church "train the AI"

Only half way joking, what's the catch here?

I don't think you even need the actual stuff to train a neural network to recognize it. For example, if I wanted to train a neural network to recognize pictures of lions, but I didn't have any actual pictures of lions, I could use pictures of lion-shaped things, lion-colored things and locations where lions might appear. If a picture is hitting all three of those, it's very likely to be a lion. Very likely is all a neural network can do, so it's good enough for my purposes.
