6. It isn't primarily a search bot. Its primary use is fraud, so the users can pretend to have knowledge and

skills they don't have, whether with writing, coding, art or music.

I'm not aware of any popular AI tool including those used at universities that was legally trained only on public domain and/or properly licensed work. That's a fantasy. The theft of the world's intellectual property by robber barons is the ugly reality that AI fans don't want to talk about. OpenAI even admitted in court filings that training on what's in the public domain wouldn't be adequate, and the AI companies have also made it clear it would have been too much trouble and would have taken too long to get permission to use copyrighted work. And they've also made it clear that they don't intend to pay for training data they stole.

It's blatant theft. One of the greatest thefts in history. It's unethical to try to ignore it.
