But you flipped the situation, making it an entirely different discussion, and then you went on as if you thought my previous point was still supposed to apply to the new topic that you introduced.
It's not that I don't like it; we can talk about the issues with training commercial LLMs on GPL code. It was just an unannounced change of topic. Like you were trying to score points, so you brought up something irrelevant to pretend I'm arguing against, which I wasn't.
Corporations have been able to steal open-source code without the help of AI, and the same issues arise due to lack of transparency. It's a problem, sure, but it wasn't the problem we were discussing. And you acting like I'm somehow arguing against it being a problem is a strawman, because it's not what the thing I said was in reference to.
