You don’t have to pay for things! The models are just there! The code is just there! The images to train on are just there! The absurdity that you have some rights over some data is the only thing that could possibly cause you to pay money for a thing.


There's no free lunch. There's a reason the first law of thermodynamics is first. Atoms are just there for grabs too. Yet, you pay for someone organizing them in some order. At least that's how the world currently works. You can walk for "free" or take the bus for a "fee". So nothing is actually "free", although the assumption that Adobe took some off the shelf models and off the shelf pictures and threw them in Photoshop, didn't take much effor either.


You're confusing the first law with the second law.

First law: energy can neither be created nor destroyed

Second law: entropy always increases

> There's a reason the first law of thermodynamics is first

The first law of thermodynamics is not the first. That would be the zeroth law:
