I'll keep saying it every time this comes up.
I LOVE being told by techbros that a human painstaking studying one thing at a time, and not memorizing verbatin but rather taking away the core concept, is exactly the same type of "learning" that a model does when it takes in millions of things at once and can spit out copyrighted code verbatim.
Because it shows how stupid they really are, but also how eager they are to scam you.
