How does anyone treat generative #AI and #MachineLearning on unlicensed and uncompensated work as anything other than theft?

How does anyone treat the companies selling access to the resulting models (e.g., #OpenAI, #Microsoft, #Google, #Meta, #Anthropic, #StabilityAI) as anything other than criminal thieves and fences moving stolen goods?

How do #genAI users absolve themselves of the guilt from receiving and profiting from these pickpockets?
