Lol I more mean that at the time they were likely just looking for training data to make a better model, and only recently did people figure out it could “steal people’s style”. If that second part didn't happen I don’t think people would have gotten so mad about the first part.

To say it more plainly, if AI would have wound up being a helper instead of a “job stealer” I think people would have thought of it more like a google ranking than an enemy.

(By the way I didn't down vote you)
