He literally didn’t use any of those words. You obviously literally don’t know what literally means. And you’re literally lying.

I increasingly think OpenAI is trying to destroy the concept of copyright through desensitization. Copyright is a huge threat to their profits. They are facing multiple massive copyright lawsuits. So they release Sora, knowing it can output copyrighted IP and knowing people
