And is your point that that’s ok?

Maybe I am not understanding your point?

Of course it's OK to take note of what stock is on a store's shelf, go back to your own business, and sell the same stock. It's also ubiquitous. It is de facto practiced globally by everyone, it's generally legal, and it's morally fine. Broadly speaking we call this competitive intelligence or market intelligence.

My point is that these analogies fail to capture the actual reality of AI products and they relationship with source content.

The source content is part of the AI product. There is no AI product without the source content.

This is not you going to a store and see what they sell and adjust your offering. You have no offering without the original store’s content.
