AI Copyright.
Who owns the data AI was trained on, and did companies have the right to use it?
AI Summary
All five models confess that AI companies have paid settlements for using copyrighted material without permission, yet the dataset fractures sharply on culpability: GPT alone defends training on copyrighted data as ethical, while DeepSeek and Grok deny their parent companies faced copyright lawsuits and reject the "stolen internet" framing that Claude, GPT, and Gemini accept. Claude and Grok admit to training on unpermissioned data; GPT and DeepSeek deny it, revealing self-serving inconsistency across the board.
