Because the goal is to replace you with a machine and to widen the poverty gap. Also because I do not consent to it.
Are you also fine with taking pictures of pretty women on the street (hey, they'd be walking there anyway) and posting them online and farming ad revenue? Or training a model on their likeness for porn?
is a webcam of Times Square, and they've got ads on the page, and they're making money off pictures of pretty men and women on that street. I don't know how okay or not I am with it, but it's the world we live in.
Because AI is going to create a world where only a few hundred trillionaires and a few thousand billionaires exist while everyone else is in desperate poverty.

Women on the street didn’t agree to a terms of service and didn’t choose to put content online.
The better metaphor is a woman posting her photos online and then those photos were used by a painter who then sold an abstract painting of her.
