Scraping the web, creating maps and pointing people to the source is one thing; scraping the web, creating content from that scraping without attributing any of the source material, and arguing that the outcome is completely novel and original is another.

In my eyes, all genAI companies/tools are the same. I dislike all equally, and I use none of them.

That's the business model of lots of companies. Take, collect and collate data, put it in a new format more useful for your field/customers, resell.
