This line of attack against LLMs seems just foolish. The data was put into the public for public consumption. There is no right to control whether the data is used to train something; that's just something people are making up.
Google and the others have been indexing all the public content on the web for years and nobody complained about search engines “stealing” public data to make the web more usable. Turn it into a chat bot and suddenly it’s some heinous crime against humanity.
FWIW, there was a complaint about Google Books
(long ago resolved). Historical interest only.
