it seems a bit messed up and telling that some people think it's an insult to point out that someone believes and is willing to fight for there to be basic ethics in tech, and such things as worker's rights, human rights, and the integrity of a craft.

the simple fact regarding generative AI and LLMs specifically is also that the vary basis of how LLMs are made as well as most often used is a human rights violation and violates worker's rights as well.

though also, the things about screwing people over is that in doing so you set the stage for and even normalize the conditions and practices that would enable the same thing to be done to you. so if you use generative AI, you may think you're getting one up on artists, writers, musicians, etc. right now but don't think for a second someone isn't stealing your own personal data and work to among other things create a cheap digital copy of yourself to use as a slave and replace you. even if you don't think you're it's target or victim right now, you're still in it's crosshairs and it's in your own best interest to join those opposing generative AI. as well as just the decent thing to do to fight against LLMs.
