I'm happy with them and would rather support those who share. Ai is taken from the history of human knowledge, so it seems fair we all get access to the fruits built on out shared knowledge.

At the risk of hand-waving a complex personal belief, I don't really believe in copyright, but for us to train models on all of human writing, without asking or paying, then turn around and scream 'foul' at someone training a model on the first models seems... genuinely insane? I don't quite have an easy to way to verbalize this level of staggering hypocrisy. I suppose nothing should surprise me anymore, but here I sit, surprised.
