Yes they can because the analogy directly applies. The technical details of how a computer learns, vs a human learns doesn't really matter here, and is an irrelevant difference.

The reason why the analogy directly applies is because in both cases it is about how IP cannot really control how someone uses the IP.

Just like how IP laws cannot prevent you from listening to music while standing on your head, it also cannot prevent you from training your models on it (while also standing on your head, lets say!).

Instead, IP laws only prevents the publishing of copies of the IP.

So the point and the analogy stands.
