Nauti's Take
For teams using generative AI in content workflows, this puts training and input data provenance back on the table. If you rely on cheaper models, check first whether the vendor can clearly explain licensing, chain of rights, and potential liability, otherwise a pricing advantage can turn into a compliance problem fast.
