On the other hand, Chhabria wrote that AI companies may have an easier time defeating copyright claims if the feared market dilution is a trade-off for a clear public benefit, like advancing non-commercial research into national security or medicine. Chhabria said that if the authors had introduced any evidence of market dilution, Meta would not have won at this stage of the case and would have likely faced broader discovery in a class-action suit weighed by a jury.
