"The AI engineering impact data shows that output is up. It also shows that the work required to ensure that output is safe, correct, and maintainable has not decreased. It has increased substantially."

this is, of course, much more egregious data and resource theft than that which the feds were prepared to put Aaron Swartz in prison for, but it's being done by VC funded AI industry vampires, so it'll never get treated as such.
All uses of AI are costing someone… this sucks as the Game UI database is such a valuable resource.
