If you think it is always abuse if the use of AI is not explicitly disclosed, then you're going to have to recognize there are many thousands of situations where that view is absurd.

Imagine you and a group of friends decide to develop a game. You make a company and have a team of four people. Your budget is tiny and you can't afford the same resources a huge game company can. You want your new company to be profitable so you use large language models to generate realistic material textures for your 3D models, and to generate a diverse range of intetestimg character backstories and dialogs. This used to require a larger team of developers and content creators but now you can do more with fewer people and ship your game sooner. You make a great game and users love it and it's a financial success.

But oh wait, you didn't explicitly disclose that you use an AI powered tool to generate some art assets and character backstories. Therefore you are just a greedy company that is abusing AI for profit.

That's so ridiculous.
