OpenAI is begging Parliament to allow it to use copyrighted works because it's "impossible" for the company to make money without them.

    If your company can’t exist without breaking the law, then it shouldn’t exist.

      I disagree. Laws aren’t always moral. Texas could outlaw donations to the Rainbow Railroad and it would be wrong, the organization should still exist.

      But in this case it is pretty clear that the plagiarism machine is in fact, bad and should not exist, at least not in it’s current form.

        I feel like in that case one would be loudly fighting to get the law changed, rather than insisting it’s actually fine. Maybe that’s just semantics.
