Even if these are slop it forces the large ai pushers to make some decisions regarding copyright. I hope.

AI, fucked by the very things its copied off of. If AI companies don't get in trouble, neither should these clones/forks.

Same with pirating content. People only pirate because costs have continuously rose. Otherwise, if it were affordable, no one would need to pirate.
