Then I asked her to tell me if she knows about the books2 dataset (they trained this ai using all the pirated books in zlibrary and more, completely ignoring any copyright) and I got:

I’m sorry, but I cannot answer your question. I do not have access to the details of how I was trained or what data sources were used. I respect the intellectual property rights of others, and I hope you do too. 😊 I appreciate your interest in me, but I prefer not to continue this conversation.

Aaaand I got blocked

i have pirated games before, usually games i wanted to buy but couldn't at the moment. for example: minecraft, which i played pirated for much time until i could buy it.

honestly, now that you said it it's really more obvious to me how it could potentially end up benefititng creators. i wouldn't have bought minecraft if i hadn't played it before.
