My business of stealing items from the local Walmart and then selling them to people for a lower price outside of Walmart will never be profitable if I have to pay for those items or ask Walmart to give them to me first.
(What's hilarious is that even the above business plan holds more water than the average AI service which cannot achieve a profit even if the thefts are legalized because of the still high operating costs.)
the irony here is that genAI is more expensive in all domains: environmental, financial and ethical
It's not stealing. They are just copying. They haven't deprived you of anything.
As if that makes it any better.
I mean it's the excuse that laughably is used anytime folks justify pirating. I find it funny most ignore or can't see the parallel.
What? Who uses that argument?
