This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Prompt goblins insist that we're backward and irrelevant. Why do they crave our sweet delicious approval?
they want your data and freshwater
This reminded me of a few old comic stories were eventually the robot/computer was partially running on blood.
(One of them was a judge dredd one where they had vampire robots who iirc used the blood to keep a president in suspended animation alive. Snap, Crackle and Pop, it had a suprisingly wholesome ending for a dredd comic).
it's not approval they're after, it's reaffirmation of faith
The plagiarism, massive expenditure of venture capital, and unreliable slop output are all intrinsic to the technology, and they hate to be reminded of that because there isn't much they can do about it. From a technological standpoint, even locally run community fine-tuned open-weight models still originated from plagiarism and big corporate investments, and still output slop. From a social standpoint, the most the can do is try to claim legitimacy through consensus building and we are a threat to that.
