What is the argument AGAINST GMOs?

My only criticism is that it allows corporations to copyright crop strains and penalize farmers for growing from their own crop without paying.
It terms of production, nutrition and getting resources to struggling populations, GMOs are an absolute win.

There was some weird things they put into it like genes and from what I know, there has been unintended side effects to not gmos but gene editing out diseases. They've tried to get rid of disease through gene editing and found out that it gave them something else instead. So that's kind of cautious. I mean it's only food in this case so I don't know if stomach acid would help but the whole putting unknown DNA stuff into food and then we don't know what that does to our own genetics kinda of irks me.

I looked it up and apparently the genes they put into food degrade and then there's natural genes that food already has.

However there is still a risk of gene transfer but it's low.
