This is more ironic than writing a song called Ironic that lists situations that aren’t actually ironic. OpenAI claims it’s free to suck up whatever content and data it can find on the web without any form of permission or consent, but throws a tamper tantrum when someone takes whatever they regurgitate for their own use without permission or consent?

Cry me a river.
