I may be considering AI usage from a different angle. I’m less interested in the technical side than I am from the moral side.

AI companies trained their agents using open source software, did not contribute back to the code, did not credit the authors, and now want to sell it back to the same people they ripped off.

As an open source project maintainer, I’m disgusted by this.

I’m also a musician. AI companies trained agents on other people’s music without giving anything back to them. This also is disgusting.

AI trained on people’s work now lets you circumvent paying the original creators.

Add to this resource usage and environmental impact.

This is why I see AI usage as immoral. It hurts real people.
