2. It shouldn't be. I've been shocked by how many people are so okay with it they'll use AI when they don't have to.

I feel sorry for people forced to use generative AI by their jobs or schools.

But I'm just baffled by people who aren't forced to use it, and who KNOW the entire genAI industry is built on theft, who are still happy to use it.

It's a nightmare. All that real work ripped off and exploited, and all that AI-assisted pretense and slop.

Never thought so many people cared so little about ethics. Or were at least willing to set aside any concern for all the people whose work was stolen, if those AI tools built on theft offered any amusement or convenience.
