I have yet to see someone explain in detail how transformer model training works (showing they understand the technical nitty gritty and the overall architecture of transformers) and also layout a case for why it is clearly a violation of copyright.

You can find lots of people talking about training, and you can find lots (way more) of people talking about AI training being a violation of copyright, but you can't find anyone talking about both.

Edit: Let me just clarify that I am talking about training, not inference (output).

Not a ton of expert programmer + copyright lawyers, but I bet they're out there

You can probably find a good number of expert programmer + patent lawyers. And presumably some of those osmose enough copyright knowledge from their coworkers to give a knowledgeable answer.

At the end of the day though, the intersection of both doesn't matter. The lawyers win, so what really matters is who has the pulse on how the Fed Circuit will rule on this

Also in this specific case from the article, it's irrelevant?
