FWIW, the courts may find that scraping text is within acceptable fair use, and that's not even my primarily objection.
LLM's rely on massive amounts of labour exploration in Africa and South Asia.
They waste shocking amounts of electricity.
They produce garbage text (and images) and make obvious mistakes.
They are a cudgel to pay creative workers less money for more labour.
Their primary use is cheating, scamming, & disinformation.
They cost ten times what they make even just in dollars.
