How exactly does this benefit "us" ?
Because books are used to train both commercial and open source language models?
commercial training is, in this case, stealing people's work for commercial gain
so, uh, let us train open-source models on open-source text. There's so much of it that there's no need to steal.
I'm not sure why you added a question mark at the end of your statement.
I was questioning whether or not you would see that as a benefit. Clearly you don't.
Are you also against libraries letting people borrow books since those are also lost sales for the authors, or are you just a luddite?
This is so far from analogous that it's almost a nonsequitur.
No, and you don't even believe such nonsense. You're grasping, ineffectively.
