Raw stolen data that is in no way related to AI vs a very very expensive transformative compilation of that raw stolen data that results in usable AI. The frustration is completely understandable to me, since distillation skips much of that "very very expensive" part.
And yes, I understand the stolen data was expensive to make, so I understand the owners of it are also frustrated, but that's partly a problem with current law. Would the authors of the world be rich if OpenAI bought a single copy of their book to legally scan? For best sellers, that's somewhere around pennies, so no. Should the authors get a share in OpenAI? Current laws says, unambiguously, "no".
Frustration all around is reasonable.
