The difference being that the OpenAI models were/are scraping data freely and openly available in the public domain.
Deepseek's owners are being accused of stealing OpenAI's raw training data to build their model, essentially skipping an enormous part of the learning process.
Deepseek taking OpenAI's data isn't really the big concern in all this, though. It's the sheer amount of data being fed to it by the fuckwits that are actively using Deepseek that should be troubling folk:

I don't agree with that aspect of it either.
But people have been ripping off other people's stuff since the dawn of time, never mind the dawn of the internet, or the dawn of 'AI'. It's just a lot easier now.
