Yes, let's lie and call something stealing, then pontificate about morality.

At worst what OpenAI did was inconsiderate, but not referencing prior work is a minor academic sin. This is especially the case when AI is not playing the vanity game that seems to so inflame some mathematicians.

We could also acknowledge that everything that could justifiably be considered stealing is not necessarily covered by current statute.

Sure, we can show anything if we're allowed to make stuff up from personal outrage. Why should anyone else consider your personal opinion on this to have any weight?

Oh no, Mr. Internet Rando, don't scold me!

You seem to be a little sensitive about the subject. Which AI firm do you work for?

And you seem to not realize that your unhinged argument impeaches whatever conclusion you're trying to justify. Good points don't require this sort of slimy misrepresentation.

I don't work for any AI company.

It was inconsiderate and it was also stolen, just like everything else OpenAI has stolen to train their models.
