One thing about "AI" is with the technology OpenAI has (large neural network plus manual tagging) you could've made the best search engine ever. There could be a Copilot where you describe what you wanted and it finds an example of it in the corpus of open source software. You could go from a fuzzy image description to a stock image. These would be better than buggy code and fucked up images. But they wouldn't do that because the *service* OpenAI provides is obscuring that the content is stolen.

If you describe a situation and OpenAI finds for you an existing image, you know what image database the image came from, and you know whether you're allowed to use it, and you know you're committing a crime, and OpenAI wants to relieve you of this final burden.
