Yes, but that doesn't mean it is more efficient, which is what the whole thing is about.

Let's pretend we're not talking about AI, but tuna fishing. OpenTuna is sending hundreds of ships to the ocean to go fishing. It's extremely expensive, but it gets results.

If another fish distributor shows up out of nowhere selling tuna for 1/10 the price, it would be amazing. But if you found out that they could sell them cheap because they were stealing the fish from OpenTuna warehouses, you wouldn't argue that the secret to catching fish going forward is theft and stop building boats.
