That's the sort of logic that results in you becoming miserable and living alone in the woods.
The amount of shit built off the backs of theft is endless. Ai is not new to that. The entire crux of this logic is flawed. I hate ai but I also am educated enough to understand that if I tried to cut out every product, good and service that's built off the back of theft, slave labor, murder, war, etc. I might as well just throw my self off a cliff.
There's functionally nothing that isn't build off atrocities. That's unfortunately how basically much of humanity has progressed.
Just accept it and move on. You can't stop awful shit from creating new things. So enjoy what little time you have on this planet. And don't fuck yourself over just because you have the icky over something dumb.
There's plenty of things ai related to be angry at. Some idiots selling generated book slop is not one of them.
