The ethical implications of food, clothes and travel have crept up on us and escalated while we have been eating, traveling and dressing ourselves. I get that there are obstacles to understanding these implications and to changing strong habits.

With generative AI the ethical implications are obvious right from the start. And it's so much easier to act on your values before something becomes a habit than after it becomes one.

It's somehow telling to me that many are hell-bent on developing this habit anyway, to the detriment of climate, energy, water and exploited labor.
