You're licking the boots of a company that uses the work of others without compensation or credit then sells it back to you at a premium. This is the exact behavior the GPL license aimed to prevent. I have nothing against the technology if it's made with permission and benefits the people it depends on, but that's clearly not the case here.
Ludites are an apt comparison. The Luddites fought to protect their industry from industrialists who aimed to replace them with cheap, low skilled and child labour. The goal of AI isn't advancement it's replacement, and most of the companies pushing it are transparent about that.
