I think it’s similar to how search engines keep their ranking formulas secret, and you can’t run your own off a copy of their index.

Yet we also all contributed to it by publishing (and feeding it, for instance by following googles requirements for micro data). But we don’t own any of it.

Main difference with a search engine is that a search engine ultimately links back to you. So the user, interested in more or want to know where it comes from, ends up on your website.

The same is not true for these AI tools. The output could have been contributed by you, someone else, or everyone, or a combination of those, but it'll never be clear who actually contributed and there will be no credit to anyone besides the author(s) of the models.

Didn’t think of it this way, that makes sense. Thank you
