It's only ridiculous for the big thieves, but if you violate copyright, you'll pay dearly. Calling it ridiculous will not protect you.


Thieves…like Anthropic who literally just settled a case for pirating? Those kind of thieves?

Always better to name them outright.

Anthropic STOLE data for training. Verifiably. Admitted. In court. Then settled.[0]

You can also likely assume that OpenAI did too. There simply wasn’t enough data without having done so at least at some point in their corporate history. In fact, I seem to recall they were able to extract Harry Potter text from all the major modes[1]
