Apple vs. OpenAI: Closed Giant Meets Neighbor 'Stealing Answers' – Which Side Should AI Users Take?

Saw this news a couple of days ago. My first reaction: doesn't this remind you of e-commerce, where the shop next door poaches your operations staff and then lists identical best-sellers, changing only a punctuation mark in the copy? Apple is suing OpenAI, accusing it of trying to replicate Apple Pay by poaching talent and stealing files. As a cross-border e-commerce operator who uses AI tools daily for product selection and copywriting, I'm pretty concerned about how this lawsuit unfolds—it might determine just how much we can trust the promise of "openness" when using AI.
