An argument I've seen made in pro of AI in past threads about this is that "scraping is legal."
Yeah, downloading the content of a webpage may be legal, but redistributing it isn't.
I wish people stopped trying to make these things seem more important than they really are just because IT people call them "technologies". Blockchain isn't a technology. HTML isn't a technology. React isn't a technology. And AI is now not a technology.
When I see ChatGPT or OpenAI, I don't think of "technology". I think of a program. Software. Because that's what it is. You don't say "none of the laws that exist in this world apply to this" every time you release new software.
I bet many people can't tell the difference between a quick answer from Google and a text generated by ChatGPT on Bing. They just see the output.
All that amazing capability of generative AI? That got old fast. It was groundbreaking for one instant. Now it's just an app that generates images. Just another piece of software. Nothing special about it.
Torrenting and other p2p file transfer protocols didn't get a pass for inventing groundbreaking ways to break the law. I don't think OpenAI will get a pass for doing the same.

Speak for yourself, personally I find it still groundbreaking and while the magic won't last forever, it is and will remain groundbreaking especially considering that technological progress and development will continue way beyond what we have today.
