Personal use of copywritten material is fine - there is no breach of copyright when you download a picture from Google for yourself.

If you use it commercially then there is breach.

Uploading copywritten content is a breach of copyright as well, even without commercial use.

Google/Facebook are hosting and giving access to a bunch of media, which might or might not be copywritten - it's the individuals problem.They make.money from ads, not from the content.

AI companies stole copywritten media to train their commercial LLM, sell them or their products and make profit.

I don't think it's the same.
