      I am in favor of AI slop being used for unprofitable endeavors. It accelarates the point at which these companies evaporate, just like their water.

        All AI slop endeavors are unprofitable - not just to the individuals or companies making them, but to all life on Earth. It shouldn’t be used at all, and should be done away with as soon as possible.

          No, AI is profitable for some customers - if you look at things purely on a transactional basis and ignore the environmental costs and blatant copyright infringement.

          The only way to force AI companies to go away is for the regulatory bodies to make sure they are paying the full cost of all this, and not freeloading on the rest of us. Then it will cost so much that it will go away entirely, and we will all go back to editing memes in MS Paint, like it oughta be.
