OpenAI will steal a whole internet worth of everybody's data to train their large language model, but gets pissed when others do the same to them.
"Copying isn't stealing."

No, even then it isn't. It's not stealing. There is literally a whole different body of law defining stealing versus the body of law that defines copyright and intellectual property. The data is still exactly where it was to begin with, therefore it hasn't been stolen.
I wish people would stop using wildly inaccurate loaded terminology in these discussions simply to score emotional points.

Their take on it, via Sam Altman, is that the AI is reading and learning from the internet and we can’t fault them for that, right? You don’t fault a human from using what they’ve learned, do you? Is the rationale… I don’t know what I think about it though
It's not a PERSON. The only person involved is literally copying the internet and duct taping it together to form chat gpt. Then they say "the AI is reading and learning like any human would". No brother, the AI IS MADE FROM a copy of all the stolen words. Before the theft, there is no AI that you can put the words into and have it learn. It's just a matrix filled with trillions of zeroes. It's only an AI AFTER you build it from the stolen data.
The didn't really "steal" the internet data. I don't think most websites and data logs they used explicitly said "don't use this to train a large language model."
Dude, get out of here with that BS.

Someone would have sued openAI if they stole something. Private companies try to steal ideas and data all the time. The only thing to stop them is regulation or IP lawsuits.
what happens when they steal wages
Same thing. If they can get away with it they will.
unpopular opinion but true: they took advantage of a legal loophole and they cashed on it. Legal counseling really pay up dividends.
A pick-pocket’s mentality.
