Because grifters have no respect or care for other people, nor are they interested in learning how to be efficient. They only care about the least amount of effort for the largest amount of personal profit. Why special-case Wikipedia, when they can just scratch their balls and turn their code loose? It’s not their own money they’re burning anyway; there are more chumps throwing money at them than they know what to do with, so it’s imperative they look competitive and hard at work.

The vast, vast majority of companies using AI are on the same level as the people distributing malware to mine crypto on other peoples' machines. They're exploiting resources that aren't theirs to get rich quick from stupid investors & market hype. We all suffer so they can get a couple bucks. Thanks, AI & braindead investors. This bubble can't pop soon enough, and I hope it takes a whole lot of terrible people down with it.
