TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, has been secretly using OpenAI's technology to develop its own competing large language model (LLM). "This practice is generally considered a faux pas in the AI world," writes The Verge's Alex Heath. "It's also in direct violation of OpenAI's terms of service, which state that its model output can't be used 'to develop any artificial intelligence models that compete with our products and services.'"

OpenAI will steal a whole internet worth of everybody's data to train their large language model, but gets pissed when others do the same to them.

No, even then it isn't. It's not stealing. There is literally a whole different body of law defining stealing versus the body of law that defines copyright and intellectual property. The data is still exactly where it was to begin with, therefore it hasn't been stolen.

I wish people would stop using wildly inaccurate loaded terminology in these discussions simply to score emotional points.
