> This is a false analogy.

I think you are describing something much more like stable diffusion. This article is about Perplexity, which is much closer to "watch a movie and tell me the plot" than it is like "take these 1000 movies and make a collage". The copyright points are different - stable diffusion are on much shakier ground than perplexity.

> Why does it have to be always about money?

Before I mentioned money I said "because it hurts my feelings". I'm sorry I can't give a more charitable interpretation, but I really do see this kind of objection as "I don't want you to have access to this web page because I don't like LLMs". This is not a principled objection, it is just "I don't like you, go away". I don't think this is a good principle to build the web on.

Obviously you can make your website private, if you want, and that would be a shame. But you can't have this kind of pick-and-choose "public when you feel like" option. By the way I did not mention, but I am ok with people using Anubis and the like as a compromise while the situation remains unjust. But the justification is very important.

> If companies can scrape my pages to sell my content as theirs, I can scrape theirs and unpaywall them.

This is probably not a gambit you want to make. You literally can do this, and they would probably like it if you did. You don't want to do that, because the output of LLMs is usually not that good.

In fact, LLM companies should probably be taxed, and the taxes used to fund real human AI-free creations. This will probably not happen, but I am used to disappointment.

> P.S.: Oh, try to claim that you can train a model with medical data

Medical data is not public, for good reasons.
