The benefit is that our collective genius isn’t mined by mega corps and rented back to us. That we exist as more than mindless resources to be tapped for profit.
Again, if (for argument’s sake) we want to maximize the effectiveness of the AI, why are we okay with Microsoft intentionally omitting one of the most important codebases in human history — which it unambiguously has the right to use — from its training set?

You're basically arguing it would be better if Copilot, Stable Diffusion, GPT-3, etc (which all included copyrighted works in their training set) didn't exist. I'm just not seeing that.
