It’s also pretty clear they used a lot of books and other material they didn’t pay for, and obtained via illegal downloads. The practice of which I’m fine with, I just want it legalised for everyone.
I’m wondering when i go to the library and read a book, does this mean i can never become an author as I’m tainted? Or am I only tainted if I stole the book?
That’s the whole problem with AI and artists complaining about theft. You can’t draw a meaningful distinction between what people do and what the ai is doing.

To me this is only a theft case.

i think that is a very important observation. people want to gloss over that when it might be the most important thing to talk about.
