Scraping social media posts and reddit posts doesn’t sound like stealing, they’re public posts.

I doubt it’s only about some Reddit posts. The scrapping was done on the whole web, capturing everything it could. So besides stealing data and presenting it as its own, it seems to have collected some even more problematic data which wasn’t properly protected.

But that really isn't OpenAI's fault. Whoever was in charge of securing the patients data really fucked up.

They certainly fucked up, but it might well be OpenAI's post too.
