Regarding not feeding AI, I just want to mention that basically anything that is publicly accessible in the web is used to feed the AI. Crawlers are permanently screening.
Yes, and? The status quo is bad, and Brockwell's suggestion is worse: she calls for intentionally feeding it, which is absurd and presumes its inevitability.
My point is just that by publishing anything online, you feed the AI. Even with our conversation here, we feed the AI. It does not matter if you provide it in a prompt or not. Obviously, I did not mean that it is a good thing.
There's a difference between being passively exploited and actively cooperating
