Clean-up on Isle 3.

"When we talk about the unfair practices and harm done by training large language models, we usually talk about it in the past tense: how they were trained
on other people’s creative work without permission. But this is an ongoing problem that’s just getting worse. The worst of the internet is continuously
attacking the best of the internet. This is a distributed denial of service attack on the good parts of the World Wide Web. If you’re using the products
powered by these attacks, you’re part of the problem. Don’t pretend it’s cute to ask ChatGPT for something. Don’t pretend it’s somehow being technologically
open-minded to continuously search for nails to hit with the latest “AI” hammers. If you’re going to use generative tools powered by large language models,
don’t pretend you don’t know how your sausage is made."
