Why shouldn’t they license their content? It’s theirs and it’s a non-profit that needs revenue.

It's not that they shouldn't license their content. I'm not a fan of OpenAI and their "fair use" of things, to be honest.

But this is the opposite of fair use. They're licensing the content, which means they're paying for it in some fashion, not just scraping it and calling it fair use.

If you don't like the fair use of open information, I would expect you to be cheering this rather than losing respect for those involved.

Why? I can't see any issues with this at all, whatsoever.

Everybody is free to have their own opinions. I don't like how AI companies and mostly OpenAI "fair-uses" whole internet, so there's that.

Again, like others have contested with you, how is this The Guardian's fault to have issue with? They convinced ClosedAI to give them money in a licensing deal to use their content as training data without having it scraped for free.

Your sense of injustice or whatevs you want to call it is aimed in the opposite direction.

This isn't even fair-use defence, they're paying to use it expressly for this purpose.
