Anybody who thinks that copyright law allows them to train with GPL data and not be generating GPL code is wrong.

Unfortunately we don't know that yet. It's certainly not what I intended, or what most devs do when they license GPL, but a court needs to make that decision.

Honest question: what do you expect when using GPL in your code? I personally use MIT.

When someone uses my code in another software project that they then distribute, the code for that project is also available. MIT does not require this, so I don't usually use it.

The problem of GPL is that it also requires derivative work to be under GPL as far as I know, that's why I don't use it and use MIT instead, because GPL basically makes commercial usage impossible.

That's not at all true. It just means the resulting product has to be open source. You use the commons, you contribute back to the commons.

"Unless you are talking about chocolate cake, most cake is vanilla." I think that a company that uses my work should contribute their changes back. If they don't want to, they can go chew rocks.
