Unless you provide for personhood to those statistical inference models the analogy falls flat.
We're talking about a corporation using copyrighted data to feed their database to create a product.
If you were ever in a copyright negotiation you'd see that everything is relevant: intended use, audience size, sample size, projected income, length of usage, mode of transmission, quality etc.
They've negotiated none of it and worst of all they commercialised it. I'd consider that being in real trouble.
Not to mention, if we're going to judge them based on personhood, then companies need to be treating it like a person. They can't have it both ways. Either pay it a fair human wage for its work, or it isn't a person.
Frankly, the fact that the follow-up question would be "well what's it going to do with the money?" tells us it isn't a person.
Pay what a fair wage, the GPU farm? 😂
