Ask HN: Should open data sets be behind 'token walls' (paid access AI analysis)

Assuming that an AI company, such as OpenAI, be able to charge money for inquiring insights to that data?

-

Assume that AI companies may receive public subsidies (such as twitter did for 'reinvigorating Market Street (forget about the chopped up body in the alley, or the crack videos of 5am, or the closure of all the shops within ten blocks)

-

Should an AI company be able to charge for their parsing of government data, such as budgets, if they are going to profit off access/insights?

Shouldnt any company thats able to ingest all the open-data be required to provide searching insights based on that data for free - its open data?

Or should they be only able to charge for looking through their "lens" at the data, and if so - should such insights only be public insights - or not a commercial insight such that one cannot explicitely charge for access to insights on public .gov/open data?

Who owns the insights to open data? Does one own the "prompt" - Does own own the "engine" for parsing the "prompt" - Does one own the 'monetizable' output of the 'prompt'?
