Copyright fair use rules are tools designed to govern how humans use protected works in dervied works. AI is not human use, therefore the rules are only coincidentally correct for AI use where it even is.

Yes, it comes down to intentional control of output. Copyright applies when someone uses a pen to make a drawing because of the degree of control.
On the flip side there are copyright free photos where an animal picked up a camera etc, the same applies to a great deal of automatically generated data. The output of an LLM is likely in the public domain unless it’s a derivative work of something in the training set.
If you take that approach to fair use, don't you open the door to the same argument for copyright itself?
How do you distinguish between a tool and the director of a tool? I doubt people would say that a person is immune to copyright or fair use rules because it was the pen that wrote the document, not the person.
