The only thing that could prove that is a complete audit of all the data storage that their “AI” systems have access to.
This will likely play out in the courts due to the numerous lawsuits in process from artists suing over their work being stolen. Legal discovery could compel that kind of data audit.
That’s what they tell you about it I’m sure, but what proof do you have?
