I think GP is pointing out that someone that spends years building a large online gallery of their artwork, only for it to be smushed into a pool of vector mush, has the same reasoning to prevent openAI from using their work as openAI does to prevent competitors from using their artisanaly laundered dataset.

Doesn’t matter how much endless amounts of money they spend, they’re going to have to contend with the fact that the value they ship is derived from other’s work. It’s just diluted to the point of it becoming “data” rather than “artworks”.
