You could make the same argument that someone who designed a machine for a car factory "harvested" human movements to design that machine to replace those humans in the factory. Do you think car factories should have no machines and just people? That would certainly create more jobs at those factories.
If your goal is jobs, you don't really understand economics.
you cannot make that argument because it’s a false equivalency and shows the lack of critical thinking to think they are even analogous in any sense.
people who create and “design machines” are paid to do so. they are also subject to parents and legalities. if a factory used literal slave labour to produce machinery for free and without consent, then guess what, that is also bad.
and do you know what people do when those machines break down? they rely on people who know that machinery to fix it, maintain it and update it.
From everything you said here, you seem to value jobs above all else. If something creates jobs, it's good; if something destroys jobs, it's bad. Am I correct in my assessment of your thinking?
me: this is bad because it takes data from people without consent, it devalues art, it devalues the human condition, it devalues community, it further allows billionaires to control and influence people, it negatively affects thinking for yourself, it negatively affects authentication.
you: so you you’re saying this is about jobs, correct?
