and some people that create the LLMs are unethical.

Much of the copyright material used to train an AI is not copied verbatim. it is more like a "book report" and not the book. Every middle school, high school, and university student that reads a book and uses it later is guilty of what goes on in AI. Only they don't look at 1200 papers or books on a subject, they look at 1 or 2 or 5 sources ( I was taught to use at least 3 but less than 10 ). Attribution is lacking... but I didn't pay for the access to the books and papers... I read them, summarized thm,, wrote my own paper on the subject, often lifting entire passages... and included footnotes with attribution.

Like I said, AI is a tool, the internet is a tool, social media is a tool... use it, don't use it, if you are an injured party, sue the bastards. But don't blame the new tool, it is not responsible for what source material was used.
