When individual copyright violations are considered “theft” by the law (and the RIAA and the MPAA), violating copyrights of billions of private people to generate profit, is absolutely stealing. While the former arguably is arguably often a measure of self defense against extortion by copyright holding for-profit enterprises.
Barely usable results?! Whatever you may think of the pricing (which is obviously below cost), there are an enormous amount of fields where language models provide insane amount of business value. Whether that translates into a better life for the everyday person is currently unknown.
Using chatgpt and copilot has been a huge productivity boost for me, so your comment surprised me. Perhaps its usefulness varies across fields. May I ask what kind of tasks you have tried chatgpt for, where it’s been unhelpful?

And stealing from other people’s works. Don’t forget that part
Nothing got stolen…this lie gets old.

They used copyrighted works without permission
Right, it’s only stolen when regular people use copyright material without permission
But when OpenAI downloads a car, it’s all cool baby

Literally anything that requires knowing facts to inform writing. This is something LLMs are incapable of doing right now.
Just look up how many R’s are in strawberry and see how chat gpt gets it wrong.
Okay what the hell is wrong with it
It took me three times to convince it that there’s 3 r’s in strawberry…
Because that’s not how LLMs work.
When you form a sentence you start with an intent.
LLMs start with the meaning you gave it, and tries to express something similar to you.
Notice how intent, and meaning aren’t the same. Fact checking has nothing to do with what a word means. So how can it understand what is true?
All it did was take the meaning of looking for a number and strawberries and ran it’s best guess from that.
No, you may not.
