    I’d be fine with this argument if these generative tools were only being used by non-profits. But they aren’t.

    So I think there has to be some compromise here. Some type of licensing fee should be paid by these generative AI tools.

      You’re basically arguing for making any free use of them illegal, thereby giving a monopoly to the richest and most powerful capitalists.

      Humans won’t be able to compete, and you won’t be able to use the means of generation either.

        I’m arguing for free commercial use being illegal, absolutely.

        And that fee should scale based on who is using it for commercial purposes. Microsoft and Google should be paying far, far out the ass for their data.
