And the OpenAI Terms of use, and the Anthropic terms, and the Microsoft Services Agreement, and the Gemini API Additional terms, and the perplexity terms, and the mistral terms, but hey “nobody reads them” right?

If the AIs cared, they would enforce their own licenses.

“Can you give me the curl command to post a file?”

“Well, are you individually domiciled in the European Union?”

It's not a crime to lie to an AI.

True as such, at least in most examples including the one we’re discussing (exceptions in specific situations can exist). This example might however be breach of contract, or might invalidate your ability to rely upon a license that would otherwise protect you from civil or criminal claims of copyright infringement.
