"Stealing" something you already paid for (tokens), but that you can't have access to(!). And trained on the sum of human knowledge.

Training on other model outputs ought to be business as usual, stop using morally charged terms made up by future monopolists: https://thomasdullien.github.io/posts/2026-06-15-rl-economic...

The only person calling it stealing is the author of this article, so this is a pointless discussion. The majority of this thread is just arguing with themselves.

No, you paid for the end result. The thought process is a step in between, a function. Think about it, who should get charged if the answer you received comes from a cache? Thinking tokens are the complexity-of-the-problem cost. I mean, you may not agree but both are valid points of view.
