Totally agree. LLM's are just automating that infringement process.
If you make money off it, it's no longer fair use; it's infringement. Even if you don't make money off it, it's not automatically fair use.
My own favorite crazy story about copyright violations:
Metallica sued Green Jello for parodying Enter Sandman (including a lyric where it says "It's not Metallica"):

They lost that case. The kicker? Metallica were guest vocalists on that album.

That's my take as well.
Gen AI is turning small potatos, "artisanal" infringement into a potentially large scale automated process.
