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?

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.

    As if these ai bros give a fuck? No terms of services mentioned AI but they scraped everything and built their fortunes from it.

    Also are you sure that the TOS of the major websites specify "we allow anyone that runs a scraper to use your data however they wish"

    Because I can guarantee you they don't. And yet, that's what the AI bros have done / are still doing.

    Sure, these despicable companies realize they hold value and are now also selling our data, but that's only one side of this disgusting coin.

      Every major website including Reddit and Imgur have TOS language saying they can do basically anything they want with content you add to their platforms, including AI training

I don't like bad arguments like this.

    tbh I don't think its a bad argument. There's plenty of things I'd do to be nice to a fellow person that I would Not do for the benefit of a large company.

    What they're doing is (IMO) evil and anti-human and I do not want to be part of it
