A reminder that GenAI exists solely so that CEOs don't have to pay creative and skilled people for labor. And it's up to us as consumers to generate as much backlash against this shit as humanly possible.
In the words of John Lewis, it's time for "good trouble."

And if you're not, organize in solidarity and demand our leaders stand up to ICE. https://iceoutforgood.org/
