even worse: when it comes to ai specifically, what did it take? an incredible amount of uncompensated resources from writers and artists, without their consent, again, resting on the notion of this sacrifice being made for the benefit of all and everyone

as in: by inference, violate all these creators, their copyright, their assets, for free, just pillage all their shit, cos the gamble will work out, i promise, ten years from now you will be apologizing to us that you ever were a crybaby that we stole all your books and paintings and fed them to a machine. dont worry, on that day, when you come to say sorry, we will only sneer a little but otherwise be gracious when we say we forgive you.
