I'm not sure about the rest of the facts, but I'm sure Musk is now using users' data to research AI, and that's a clear infringement for users - especially those who are artists. Everything the user tweets about their artistic output could potentially be fused by the AI, thus allowing the AI to produce different styles of art in a more sophisticated way, and what the AI generates in seconds is something that would take an artist hundreds of hours or even months to accomplish. What's even scarier is that AI will gradually deprive artists of their employment space, and the commercial deprivation at the artistic level is terrifying - it's the beginnings of the replacement of the human mind by AI. While it is true that AI is still rooted in human beings themselves, the commercial erosion deprives people of the possibility of utilizing their minds to make a living in a practical sense.
