I believe they have been doing that and will continue to do that. Not just through distillation attacks, but also throughout hacking corporate and government networks, and good old fashioned espionage.
But “easy come, easy go”, I guess. Because all of the training data was stolen in the first place. Just one more reason why the AI business is fucked. The answer for society remains regulation.
“Only I stole this fairly” has been the motto of oligarchs for millenia.
