You’re missing the point. These companies took the knowledge of the world for free and are now selling it back to us for money. Your comparison doesn’t hold up.

I learned writing code for free, by looking at other code and reading online manuals.
I also learned how to play the piano by listening to people playing it and getting online sheet music for free.
Do you have a bot army that scrapes websites and repositories? Do you not give credit when credit is due? Do you poorly plagiarize work and claim it to be your own?
While I appreciate the learning aspect, the abuse of these LLM’s is blatantly clear.
