Imagine OpenAI put all their code and all their work in a public repo so someone can modify it and sell it without permission. Oh wait... they wouldn't do that.

Was their a dearth of video games or music videos before generative AI became mainstream? Yeah, creating takes resources and time and effort and dedication, usually for very little reward.

If these companies can't exist without stealing everyone else's work than maybe they should hire creators with their billions or license the material.
