Uh, that's objectively false.
OoenAI also provides ChatGPT as a "free" service, and Google has made billions off of that "free" service they oh so altruistically provide you.

Let's advocate for no one going to prison for scraping information then. Let's pick the second one where we don't put more people into prison.
AI scraping content, the same way that search engines do, will have no impact on the copyright system.
No, this is a broader issue with copyright being a fundamentally stupid system, because it's based on creating artificial scarcity where there is no need for it.
Pirates, Search Engines, the fragmentation of streaming services, and now AI, are all just technologies that expose how dumb a system it is.
Copying information is not stealing.
It doesn't really matter, it's not enough for me to just black box it and say the compiler will handle it, I want to have a rough idea of how every part of the stack works, otherwise I'm right back to high school.
Literally every page Google shows you, where it also shows you those ads it makes money from, is Google's content and it is derived from the data it gets scraping the web.
