I think this opinion is going to be looked at a lot like the anti-privacy arguments when Facebook and Google were first revealed to be massively invading people's privacy.

We look at those platforms with disdain now, but at the time all you ever heard people saying over and over was "If you have nothing to hide who cares about privacy?" and "Anything you put on the Internet is fair game." and "your privacy is already gone, nothing we can or should do now."

And then that careless attitude led to things that those people hadn't foreseen, like the Cambridge Analytica scandal, massive troll farm campaigns and Trump's election.

Looking back we're going to see this argument about data scraping to fuel LLMs in the same way.
