of that destructive capitalism and benefits the oligarchs.

Which is why liberals and others who oppose the oligarchs and especially exploitative capitalism should steer clear of generative AI.

I said I liked Phil Moorhouse's comments. But he should realize he's silently showing approval of that IP theft by oligarchs when he uses those illegally trained tools - which do not in any way help his presentation. Since you like his videos, maybe you could let him know they'd look even better without the AI slop, and then he wouldn't be helping promote that oligarch-owned technology built on theft and exploitation. Theft and exploitation continuing every day still.
