It’s not immoral or unethical to digest information, but the difference is when a computer can do that digesting of information the scale is very different than if a human does it and it blows up the incentives for people to create content in the first place. In the most extreme version, no human writing would be read or seen by other humans, it would be all fuel for the machine intelligence.

If that it to be our future, we have to figure out how to rearrange incentives so that humans continue to be motivated to create the content that feeds the machine intelligence or the whole system falls apart.
