    And they deserve to lose the lawsuit on First Amendment grounds. Full stop.

    Anyone that actually knows the story behind it from a context beyond the anti-AI circlejerking narratives knows it was a form of comedic parody put together by comedians.

      First amendment’s got nothing to do with this my man.

      The very often misunderstood first amendment only protects citizen’s speech from criminal charges by the government. Perhaps you meant the fair use doctrine?
