> Besides lots of GPU's, training data seems the most valuable asset AI companies have. Sounds like strong incentive to me to secretly use it anyway. Who would really know, if the pipelines are set up in a way, if only very few people are aware of this? Could be, but it's a huge risk the moment any lawsuit happens and the "discovery" process starts. Or whistleblowers. They may well take that risk, they're clearly risk-takers. But it is a risk.

  The piracy was found to be unlawful copyright infringement. The training was OK, but the piracy wasn't, they were held accountable for that.

  The USA is a mess that's rapidly getting worse, but it has not yet fallen that far.
