Recent discussions surrounding OpenAI and its practices have highlighted accusations from content creators who claim that OpenAI, along with Anthropic and other companies, have used their work without permission. These creators allege that their websites, videos, and codebases were scraped to train AI models, and they express frustration over OpenAI's assertion that this data is proprietary. Comparisons have been drawn between OpenAI's closed-source approach and the open-source model of DeepSeek, with some commentators noting the irony of OpenAI's position, given its own history of using external content. The situation has sparked debate about data ownership and ethical practices in the AI industry.
The irony. @OpenAI, @AnthropicAI, & Co. scraped content from creators' websites, videos, and codebases - basically everything we’ve shared online. They built their models on years of other people’s work. Now, they call it *their* data while accusing others of *stealing* it?
openAI uses other peoples data? So when they say it was stolen? Guess what Open AI stole it first. https://t.co/jSsSj8LJie
So OpenAI scrapes and basically steals from everyone and now they’re pissed off that someone stole from them? The irony! 🤔 https://t.co/713LweNLr5 #ai #deepseek #openai
