11. I've met some artists online who were nearly suicidal about lost income and having their work stolen.

I can't look at AI-generated text, images and video, or listen to AI-generated music, without thinking of all the people victimized by the AI bros. Those creatives are hurt, too, when people using generative AI just don't seem to care that the industry was built on theft.

And I worry that seeing very much on DU that's AI-generated could make liberals who are also very opposed to genAI and the theft it's built on less likely to join this forum.

We didn't need genAI. It's resulted in almost nothing but harm.
