Stating that a model that uses existing art only to update its parameters should not need special permissions for being exposed to said art and drawing an analogy to how human artists do not need a permission to do so is not giving human qualities to a model, unless your argument is that the only reason humans don't need permission to view or take inspiration from art is because we're making a special exception for the acts of viewing and taking inspiration performed by human beings and that otherwise all exposure to art requires a permission from the copyright holder, which is just as stupid as the existence of copyright in the first place. You do not, and should not need a special permission to use art, or anything else, to update model parameters.

The same way a human artist can copyright a piece of art they made after drawing inspiration from other peoples' art.
