They absolutely do. Just because you took the plagiarism machine offline after it stole everything and then destroyed ecosystems and neighborhoods to produce the resulting dataset doesn't mean it's any better than the fascist empowering online ones. It's exactly the same. Being ever so slightly better because you're using your own power from the power company instead of someone else isn't worth the destruction caused to get to a point where your offline sycophant machine can sometimes confidently not lie to you.

    How? I'm not paying any of the companies or supporting the people who made it in any way. This is the equivalent of a vegan eating some meat that was about to be thrown in the trash. I'm also only using it for coding some personal use slop anyway, and most of the stolen code was GPL / MIT license which means for personal use there isn't even a license issue. Me using it offline and telling everyone not to pay for it and that the data scraping is terrible is nowhere near the same as someone paying and supporting these companies.

    This. I'd love to see how a model trained 100% on resources that are out of copyright or permissive licensing might actually work out.

    There's actually a lot of historical media and plenty of code that could qualify
