An interesting article that is making me think its mostly IP theft:

One of the internet-est things to come out of the most recent update to GPT image generation is the Studio Ghibli-zation of everything - another reminder of how OpenAI (and everyone else) trains on images that are very obviously someone else’s work.

Carder Dimitroff adds:

It's also an energy thief. Some data center owners are trying to get ratepayers to cover infrastructure costs through the state ratemaking process. On top of the capital costs, ratepayers are also expected to pay elevated marginal power costs. It's not just power. It's also natural gas:

This proposed gas plant to power a data center campus is massive

The soaring power needs of data centers continue to raise eyebrows, and nowhere is this more evident than at one Pennsylvania project, where a massive proposed natural gas plant would replace a legacy coal facility.

Pamela Van Giessen responds:

Thanks for sharing this. Every publishing/media legal department should read this, along with all artist guilds. And then they should do their own tests. AI was always theft.

There is a developing case NYT vs OpenAI:

Ars Technica did a more comprehensive article about it a year ago.
