There is something about your comment that is deeply off-putting which is odds with your actual tone itself. My hunch is that while what you're saying is couched in all the traditional markers of polite and civil discourse the content seems to lack its spirit. While I don't think you want society to degenerate in the ways that it is I can't help but feel it also isn't something that is a priority for you because you get to continue "creating".

The thrust of your argument seems to rest resigning yourself to the impossibility of unhitching the global economy from the AI bandwagon and being unwilling to want to do it because it works for you; this part I don't personally care about very much about. The annoyance, I think, stems from you then suggesting the same resignation others as well while skirting around what I thought were pointed questions with unhelpful responses:

i) You don't bother actually stacking up the harms of generative systems against their benefits. ii) You don't actually bother backing up your own position of resignment to the status quo. iii) You forget that your opinion is your's alone while ignoring that the vast majority of humanity had no say in society being upended in this particular way. This assymetry has largely held through history, but is least defensible today. iv) Finally you forget that people aren't bound by laws in the way we like to believe they are.

A more cynical person might infer vested interest from the state of your argument.

I hope for your sake you continue getting the same joy from "creating" as society continues it ride down to the bottom.
