It's one of the fastest growing stimulus to the global economy. Countries should cease onto this growth oppourtunity and open scam centers or be left behind.

The friction is important. As Amazon will tell you even a fraction of a second can make a significant difference to people’s decisions.

Also I’ve seen it posted here that the ethical stance is important, and yes, making it clear that it’s seen as socially disadvantageous is also important to putting the barest control on the cost asymmetry issue.

Yeah, not always, but we *do* deal with it - when we find out they're doing it without proper permissions, credit given, licensing, etc., their "contributions" are generally rejected or removed, and usually so is the person that lied about it.

what if someone wrote their code on company time, meaning they don't own it? that's way harder to enforce than a genai ban

Yes, and for another reason-- because *even if you cannot tell*, banning LLM crap and the people who promote it sends a valuable message that we -distrust- and are personally -repelled- by those who would trade their (and by extension, our own) humanity for convenience and kicks.

Banning LLM ai from any space is an ETHICAL statement.

But the argument itself starts from a false premise, when it is now a matter of public record that the "AI bros" are actually lying and prompting models to lie (Claude source code leak, "undercover.ts"), as well as "Copyright law for me, but not for thee" (subsequent DMCA takedowns of leak, vs IP land grab for training); it's been established.
