LLMs wouldn't work without learning on massive amounts of text, so using the entirety of human thought and existence is a very practical step. I wouldn't worry about the reselling part, because AI is a race towards the best price/performance. Open weights models are driving the price down a huge amount, making this tech more practical for everyone.

Practical or not, it's abhorrent.

But it wasn't trained on the entirety of human thought. It's mostly trained with what is available on the internet.
