AI Companies Are Parasites

Automated excerpt

The whole thing, their entire business model. Scrape the whole of the internet, destroy books, siphon everything they can from whoever they can without compensation, and call it fair use. Train models on said stolen data. Sell metered access to the models. Repeat until you've killed the host. Hope you can head off the effects of AI inbreeding. The old bargain of traffic for indexing is gone. Maybe they'll spin up gas generators and send pollution your way. At least we get stilted prose, images that look like Pixar rehashes, and code nobody understands. How's Stack Overflow doing lately?
