On the acceptance of GenAI

Ethics is the worst.

@joeposaurus Come on, you could write similar lists about most things people do to function in a society. Like driving a car or wearing clothes or drinking coffee.

@OndrejMirtes @joeposaurus Indeed, there is no ethical consumption under capitalism.

But we can still try to minimize our negative impact and be mindful of it. Electric cars, ethically grown coffee, non-sweatshop clothes, etc.

And GenAI is still new enough that "fuck that, no" is an option. At least until enough people shrug and do it anyway and give the rest of us no choice.

@Crell electric cars feels out of place in the example list ๐Ÿ˜†
@slims Why? They still have a carbon footprint, but it's vastly lower than gasoline cars.
