Everything you described been possible since the dawn of intellectual property. Just replace LLM with "person".

Furthermore, it isn't theft to learn from others' work and reproduce similar qualities.

Possible is not the same as admissible.

Good to know that the prevailing commercial tech culture now sees plagiarism and stealing ideas without attribution as the modern way of doing business and hopes that dressing things up under some algorithmic veil will hide the act.

I guess the pit of moral decline has no bottom. The consolation is that theft has never been the road to wealth. Once the plundering is over the only thing that is left is a wasteland.

It seems that Microsoft has finally found a way to kill the open source "cancer".

I'm afraid I'm just unclear on exactly what part of this you argue is crossing a moral line.

I.e. what is being stolen without attribution? I'm genuinely not getting what you mean in this specific case.
