I don't think so. Your comparisons aren't really relevant. If Google scrapes a page containing copywritten material inadvertently and serves this to a user there are mechanisms to take down that content or face a lawsuit. Try posting a movie on Youtube, if a copyright holder notifies Google that content will be taken down.

Training a LLM is different, that material was used to help build the model and is now a part of that product. That creates a legal liability.
