I agree. I think that all AI companies need to crash and burn. But it'd be disingenuous to claim that what these models are doing is completely different than what humans are doing. Humans don't pull stuff out of thin air. We are products of our upbringing and schooling. I say that, because I hate our current copyright laws with a burning passion and have done so long before LLMs showed up. It's possible to hate copyright and AI companies.
2 points to consider.
I don't think llms are without value, but treating them like they think or create new things is the problem imho.
