It harvests the sum of human endeavour, everything which has made it onto the internet no matter how ancient, without permission or payment. It steals people's lifework for the profit of its masters. Meanwhile, we amuse ourselves with making cute snappy cartoons when we have no artistic talent at all. We don't need talent when we can steal it*!

*the argument could be made that these stolen goods are fake talent, imitation pasteurized process art product.
