How it works now:
1) "Open"AI, Microsoft, Google, et al vacuum up everything they can find, then regurgitate it, filled with BS.
2) It's such a novelty that pundits go gaga.
3) Investors pump billions into AI companies, which need more and more stuff for their databases.
4) Web services where we create or store information sell it to the AI companies unless we a) discover that they're doing it and b) opt out.
