I’ve so had it with slop machine users playing the “victim” role here.
You use the fashtech. You are directly condoning, and giving actors reason for continuing, intellectual theft, land grabs, burning the planet, robbing us of water, killing off small projects’ servers by DDoS scraping, creating an addicted population that can’t think, ruining the planet with building even more polluting power plants, mining of rare elements, putting digital asbestos everywhere, etc. and you directly support and condone the eso-fascist, haters of humanity, eugenicist TESCREAL ideology, as well as systematic exploitation of humans that borders on actual slavery (not even sure on which side of the border…) (and your “AI” is even pretty much a digital slave) and all the other ethical problems with it. You directly condone and support ignoring consent to produce your plagiates, and to produce deep fakes, which are also used to manipulate elections in favour of neonazis. You are complicit in polluting our commons. And you do it knowingly. While there is a psychological link to hard drugs, you are informed, and yet you still argue in favour of, advocate for, and use the slop extruder.
You, “AI” user, are not the victim here.

(just one example of these, but the most recent and most Fedi one I had at hand)

edited to add appropriate illustration by @prahou (which you can buy stickers from at his redbubble), and to point out that this applies globally, of course, not just on Fedi, and add a link
