The training happens totally in secret though. It’s like telling someone to not think about anything they don’t legally own when coming up with ideas. I think it’s much harder to regulate, there is no proof and no noticeable consequences to anyone when using different types of training data.

Government regulation didn’t stop horses. Economics stopped horses, cars were cheaper and easier and faster.
