I believe the claims that OpenAI scrolled not just libraries of books with rights expired but pirated works where rights are still active. And they said they “used the entire internet” as a way of hidinf behind it like they had no choice but to do this. Not only is not choosing a choice in itself, I think this was intentional.
Yeah, I have very little doubt that this is what happened. They probably never bothered to restrict their crawlers and just let them crawl all piracy sites too.
