Let me be clear: There is no ethical way to use a tool built on theft and exploited human labour, that is being pushed to enrich billionaires and strengthen their control over the economy and our lives.
These "tools" are already being used as excuses to drive my friends out of careers they've spent their lives building. It's already eroding my enthusiasm for my own job, as management forces it down our throats.
And it's only going to get worse if we don't take a stand.
That's why I'm #NoAI.
