@stupendousman They can, except the work involved in turning random bits of information on the web into meaningful results via LLMs costs a lot in terms of programming effort/skill and other resources. Hence, my distinction on content that was generated to earn revenue; otherwise, as per copyright law, it is fair use. Personally, I think $20 is heavily subsidized. Heck, it’s significantly cheaper if you know how to tap into their API (explains the hajjar startups). On the other hand, they could’ve gone the Google route by offering it for free and monetizing it some other way (“Ad - You asked ChatGPT to create a two-day itinerary to Portland. Here are the cheapest flights, hotels, etc.”)
