We created the content their systems are built on, yet they won’t even share how much energy each query uses, how much water goes to cooling

"You read my blog so now show me your utility bill" is... an interesting argument.

“You ingested the vast majority of available human knowledge to build your product, and intend to change the entire world with it, and in fact are doing so incredibly rapidly at a rate that dodges scrutiny. Could we know more?” Would be the expanded version I guess

Take advantage of open information, provide little yourself. Seems like a consistent enough line of questioning.

The OPs framing is better. Where does anyone say there’s a requirement to share data as demanded because you used a publicly available resource. These companies have created something world changing that everyone uses now, that you can get for free or for a very small amount of money. They certainly don’t need to indulge anyone’s nosing or whatever this is, the argument is ridiculous.

They literally created the situation where we are forced to use it, whether we want or not. It is pushed on us along with slop. And our work is changing from interesting to slop review.

They intend to create monopoly and abuse it to extract maximum money from us. They talk about how they will make all of us obsolete and literally brag about harms they will do to us. They throw middle finger on artists, mock them, call them obsolete and cant even perform.

They destroy environment and dont care. They help paladin, they help to bomb schools.

And they act like we should be thankful for being target of hype, doom trolling, environmental harm, insults and arrogance.

They deserve all the scrutiny and questioning.
