Using data that readily and publicly accessible on the internet that was uploaded to the internet (many of which signed their right away to be collected in a dataset) to train a dataset is no where close to using slave labor this is a horrible analogy.

When it comes to consumer behaviour, people flocking to the cheaper product and actively saying "I don't care about the supply chain! Give me my cheap phone/AI art" while others keep trying to draw attention to unethical practices? It's a very close parallel. Maybe the harm feels less tangible when spread out over orders of magnitude more people, or when you're so accustomed to abusive ToS conditions giving away your rights, but it's still there.
