Anyway: there will come vegan models. There will be LLMs and diffusers trained entirely on public-domain and licensed data. They will have the exact same effect on users, for the same reasons that a tungsten conflict hammer still makes you think about misusing a screw. For better and for worse, it does the thing it's for. That's what tools are. Solving any ethical concerns with how they're made will not address this particular discussion.
