At the risk of sounding "stoopid", can someone explain this too me please? I really don't get what's going on.

Supposedly,

OpenAI used aggressive spiders and bots to scrape the web for "free" training data. DeepSeek just mined ChatGPT for it's training data! No honor among thieves!

My spin is slightly different than @Metanis's. OpenAI is just another database program. Mind you not like another Oracle or whatever. It's head and shoulders above the rest. ChatGPT is yet another type of database program. Some similarity to OpenAI and others. Meaning it can acquire data and recompose it in a "human" manner. But one thing they all share is scraping the WWW for data which can be used improve to improves responses. This includes all the other AI efforts. Sure some people claim it's "stolen", but I don't. Scraping isn't stealing if it's publicly available.

Thank you. If you put it on the public internet, it's (effectively) public domain, and definitely in the context of LMMs.

No one ever made these claims about Google, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, or other web search engines, which did the same sort of thing, though what was compiled and how it is used is different. But the sources, not really.

Topic for another forum but...
Thank you all.

Exactly. Search engines like Google, Yahoo, and DuckDuckGo have been indexing publicly available data since the early days of the internet. Now, suddenly, people are outraged about "stealing data" when the practice hasn’t fundamentally changed - only the way the data is used has.
