Two different issues that while apparently related need separate consideration. Re the copyright finding, does the US copyright office have standing to make such a determination? Presumably not since various claims about AI and copyright are before the courts. Why did they write this finding?

The US Supreme court has complained on multiple occasions that it is forced to do the work of the legislative.

Why could a copyright office not advise the congress/senate to enact a law that forbids copyrighted material to be used in AI training? This is literally the politicians' job.

Part of Congresses power is to defer that agencies it has created. Such as the US Copyright Office.
