It's all made from our data, anyway, so it should be ours to use as we want

It does discourages the use of unauthorised data. If stealing doesn't give you competitive advantage, it's not really worth the risk and cost of stealing it in the first place.

If you can still use it after you stole it, as opposed to not being able to use it at all... Then it does give you an incentive

[–] stephen01king@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 days ago

If you did all the work and potentially criminal collection of data, but everyone else gets the benefit as well, that is not an incentive. You underestimate how selfish corporations can be.

OpenAI wouldn't stay at the forefront of LLM if every competitor gets to use the model they spent money on training.
