I'm actually still not sure how I feel about this.
I can use books to learn a new language. AI can use texts to learn their kind of language in a sense.
I'm not sure where the limit is or should be though.
I don't think that's really the same thing. Most people learning another language aren't doing it specifically so they can turn around and sell translations to millions of customers.
And if they were, they'd probably need to be accredited and licensed, using standardized sources that they pay for, directly or indirectly.
That sounds like a translator to me. And also, they're kind of doing it for free. What they're selling is access to their latest models, their API and their plugins store. They're not exactly selling the information that has been transformed.
