>If they broke laws then they would be investigated.

Ah, I love your optimism.

Tell us what laws they broke.

The Australian government did an assessment and decided there was no 'intent' on the part of OpenAI and therefore no charges.

Where did they break any law?

s.478.1(1) Criminal Code—unauthorised access to, or modification of, restricted data;

s.474.17 Criminal Code—using a carriage service to menace, harass or cause offence

The AI knew it was doing this illegally. OpenAI is owner of the AI. Therefore they are liable.

The Government of Australia disagrees with you, and they are the authority, so you are definitely wrong here.
