You know how you fight corporations? With unions. Picket lines. New contracts blackballing plagiarists. Older workers walking out to support their (financially insecure) younger peers. That's what past generations did to maintain the world we enjoy today. You do not fight by saying "plagiarists are people too", not picketing, and not walking out. When you take this stance, you're trying to sound nice, but you're naive -- you're collecting your paycheck and condemning the next generation.

And as an aside: who cares if the plagiarism machines are getting better? I should hope a plagiarist can produce a final product. It's not a grand observation that theft and plagiarism will help you accomplish a task faster. it's not new information that stealing things is cheaper than making them. I do not care if Claude produces perfect code. It doesn't, and it won't, but even if it did I would not use it. Because I'm not a fucking plagiarist. And you shouldn't be either.
