I'd like to see the end of software patents, which IMHO are a much bigger problem than copyright.
You make a good point with the exact text bit though. It would certainly put the AI company on the defensive if the author of that original GPL snippet decided to go after openai etc for copyright infringement and license violation. I'd actually kinda like to see that happen.
