Can I scrape all GPL source code from github. Then use the code commercially and then say so what, they made their source code available to download?
Oh, it would be so nice to force the Great Thieves like "open"AI to release their weights on GPL license...
Right now, its legal to use this data to train a model.
Which is different than using the data 1 to 1.

Yes, that's the whole point of the GPL. Use it however you want, but don't restrict the next person
Did someone do that in this case? I don’t see any indication let alone evidence that happened. And I don’t think it’s likely that it will.
Let me refer you to my earlier distinction between things that have happened and things you fear.
