  6. Companies only ever care about copywrite laws when its to their benefit. I see little reason I should have a different perspective.

  7. I think they’ve all done it. I’ve been surprised time and time again on on how well chatgpt can generate quizzes on niche books. There is no way it would have been able to without having sucked it all up for its training data.
