I chuckle at the same people that didn't care about software and music piracy now somehow want us to care about AI companies essentially pirating your work.

Assuming they are the "same people" sounds an awful lot like the Goomba fallacy. There are plenty of people who are consistently against the concept of intellectual property.

Scale matters. Stealing all humanity's collective output and stealing one movie to watch one time are very different. Knocking down one hornets nest and spraying a whole city with DDT are very different. Cutting a tree and clear cutting are very different.

Take a moment and try to understand before you construct such obviously silly and banal statements.

And of course there is no difference when people pirate a movie for their friends and $2 trillion companies stealing everyone's work. None at all!
