How many years professional programming, system design, compiler writing, OS design, "AI" traing and computer science studying have you? Embedded systems and complete major applications?
How many years and how many novels have you written?
But you can have your opinions, though they don't affect the courts or how valid or useful Penguin's copyright page change is. Most authors, experienced programmers, main stream computer scientists and publishers have a different opinion. Mostly it's people that think SF is a blueprint or hope to make money from AI are the ones that claim we are just meat computers.
AI doesn't learn. The computer system is fed data of which the system has zero understanding. It's ultimately pattern matching on copied content, including from pirate sites.
Penguin are doing this because there is a problem, and there are two issues:
1) Is Penguin-Random House's copyright notic change worthwhile or pointless? Answers to that are opinions.
2) The real copying that the big outfits promoting AI are doing. If it was another publisher or an individual or a pirate it would be copyright violation, which is a form of IP theft. The AI providers are already being sued and they will only win if they buy off the courts or Government. That's hardly opinion. Claiming it's how human authors work is an opinion that's almost certainly false for most authors.
