A Reddit post pushes back on the "AI is theft" narrative, arguing that if training on examples counts as stealing, then human schooling is organized crime. The author notes people also learn by imitation before developing originality, dismisses the misconception that models just patch together search results, and contends the high-dimensional information flow behind generation is itself intelligent design, with advanced models now exhibiting their own taste.
