Hacker reverse engineers his Samsung TV and finds on-device AI listening for your dog and baby, watching what you watch, and borrowing your soundbar's mic if the TV doesn't have one. Then OpenAI banned him for reverse-engineering it.

That’s not touching the ethics of stealing everyone’s work for your AI then selling it back to them.
Yeah, it's the "selling it back to them" part that gets me. I don't want to outlaw scraping, because then the Wayback Machine couldn't function. The Wayback Machine is free, though. It's a public service. (One which is very much needed, IMO.) If, instead, the Internet Archive required that you pay for a subscription in order to use it, I think most people would be very upset, and rightfully so.
You want to scrape the Web to feed your LLM? Cool! Make it an open-weight model.
