I’m rather curious to see how the EU’s privacy laws are going to handle this.

Then delete and start over, or don’t use data you don’t have explicit permission to use. in the first place.
It’s like a thief saying “well, I already fenced most of the stuff so it’s too hard to give any of it back. So let’s just call it quits, eh?”
It’s not just about having permission or not, but the right to be forgotten. You can ask a company to delete the personal data they may have on you and by law they should (in theory) delete it, with the only exception being data that may be required for justified purposes.
AIs not being able to “forget” means that they would be breaking the law if trained with personal data, as you could not have your data removed if you ask them to do so.
it’s crazy that “it’s too hard :(” has become an acceptable justification for just ignoring the law within tech circles
