File this under “We hope they did and we hope your valuation plummets (it won’t)”. The hubris of OpenAI, which clearly stole millions of copyrighted items without permission for their training datasets, while claiming Fair Use, being offended now by someone else using their data for a training set cannot be understated. A thief claiming another thief stole their already stolen property and going to the authorities over the issue. It’s like how the infamous BALCO performing enhancing drug company went under.
PS AI featured image “Irony of Fair Use” (they wouldn’t generate from “Irony of @$$holes”) brought to you by “still can’t do any text”, “what the heck are most of these things?”, “speedometers on a typewriter?”, and four hands.
