The good news is that apparently it's a lot easier to copy an existing AI than to develop an equivalent model from scratch. So you can copy ChatGPT or other AIs by just asking it a very large series of prompts, getting replies, and using those to train your own version of ChatGPT. And apparently, this takes far fewer resources than training ChatGPT from scratch.

If training an AI based on actual human-created copyrighted works isn't copyright infringement, then training an AI based on the output of another certainly isn't.

So even if AI companies manage to set this precedent, open-source AI creators can just copy OpenAI's homework and make their product worthless.
