To be clear: stealing “IP” acquired with public money or on the shoulders of others is okay, and arguably doesn’t qualify as “stealing”.
Taking IP from the very people who created it, and profitting of it / using it for whatever gains without crediting the author and/or compensating them for it? Absolutely stealing.
People who use LLMs or generative AI trained on other people’s data without consent? Thieves!
No it fucking isn’t.
