“By using GenAI:

I accept the models were trained on stolen data.
I accept that the data was labeled by exploited workers.
I accept the environmental costs of the data centers running these models.
I accept that I am outsourcing some of my skills to a company.
I accept these companies don’t have a viable business model.
I accept that I am granting more power to big tech and their vision for the world.
I accept that I am granting more power to the United States.
I accept that all this effort could have been spent elsewhere.”

Any use of AI should come with a declaration like this.

If you’re okay with the ethical implications, you should be comfortable saying so out loud.

On the acceptance of GenAI

Ethics is the worst.
