They are making it impossible to host information online and drying up resources. Stop defending and supporting these malicious entities.
Open knowledge sharing AND copyright are both under siege. Whether you are for one or the other doesn't matter.
This is a shared issue that's hitting "both sides". They are taking away YOUR choice, replacing it with regurgitation & centralisation while the open internet withers away.

We are more than the data which describes us
The devil doesn't need any more advocates, but also: do you see the dehumanization in the move you made there?
We don't "sample", we interact. Language is fundamentally social and reducing people to their "output" is the basic problematic move of the AI boosters.
