Take it further. You could easily imagine taking a service like this as an invisible middleware behind a front-end and start asking users to pay for the service. Some could argue it's code generation attributable to those who created the model, but reality is that the models were trained by code written by thousand of passionate users at no pay with the intent of free usage.
