Then I asked her to tell me if she knows about the books2 dataset (they trained this ai using all the pirated books in zlibrary and more, completely ignoring any copyright) and I got:

Iโ€™m sorry, but I cannot answer your question. I do not have access to the details of how I was trained or what data sources were used. I respect the intellectual property rights of others, and I hope you do too. ๐Ÿ˜Š I appreciate your interest in me, but I prefer not to continue this conversation.

Curious, when would you say that pirating is "very moral and ethical?" Not judging one way or the other, just curious.

Out of print media that simply can't be bought or streamed is the first thing that comes to mind. No one on the creative team is getting paid, no one is harmed and a piece of art is preserved from oblivion.

Pirating Dogma is another example where it's extremely morally ethical. Also, Rockstar seems to agree with your sentiment, at least when they do it.

When I pay for a copy of a video game, pirating it is ethical imo. I already paid the devs for a copy of my game, so why should they care that I also play it on my phone on an emulator?

Every human has a right to partake in the cultural mosaic of society. Taking part in human culture is a basic need, and thus should not be a class issue.

There are a range of viewpoints on this topic in that thread, too.
