There is no ethical use of Generative AI. Some are forced to use it for work, and I would never tell someone to risk their housing or food security to avoid it. Beyond that I find it simply inexcusable.
I was thinking, there should be consequences for using what is broadly considered "Generative AI". For example, people who use Generative AI to write humorous or sarcastic country songs could be banned from entering honky-tonks. Compulsory sterilization could be the penalty for adding a moustache to a photo of an infant (because infants cannot grant consent), even if that infant is your own offspring and she is now an adult—who was not amused, by the way.
