In a world not dominated by unfettered capitalism, sure. That’s not the one that we live in however and this tool has both been built on stolen and unlicensed intellectual property as well as being used explicitly to harm people’s livelihoods while replacing their work with objectively inferior plagiaristic amalgams.

AI companies also refuse to obey the rules of the Internet and continually DDOS sites that request crawlers and scrapers not do so, necessitating creation of whole new types of software to defend against their malicious behavior.

And on top of all that, they have substantially increased greenhouse gas emissions and are actively consuming potable water in a manner that makes Nestlé execs hard. Putting the planet’s biosphere at greater risk and unnecessarily increasing water scarcity.

Nah. Simping for AI companies is the irrational take. The value that they provide to humanity is, outside of some niche use cases, marginal at best and will likely never come close to making up for the harms that they are causing to humanity for a quick buck and to increase worker oppression.
