Feel like I need to attach a quick comparison to the chocolate industry to help explain my point further.

With the chocolate industry companies big and small largely thrive off of the slave trade. Slave labor is used to grow and harvest cocoa beans which will then be processed into chocolate. I do not support companies that benefit from the modern day slave trade since I have a functioning moral compass which says that slavery is obviously wrong.. Doesn’t matter to me that the small company might be mom and pop shop that sell chocolate, if they are profiting off of slavery then they are almost as bad as the large companies. So I choose to spend my money on chocolate that does not support the slave trade

Now replace big companies with well big companies, small companies with open source unethical regurgitative ai. Chocolate with regurgitative ai and slavery with exploitation of all human created works.

Now you’ll see that my stance is pretty clear that I do not support the exploitation of people at any scale.
