A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Firstly I don't think LLMs are "AI", secondly it's companies and people who have ethics, not software. Someone could use a Linux PC to trigger a nuclear bomb that doesn't mean that Linux is unethical.
I mean the energy usage in the face of global climate catastrophe is pretty unethical regardless of source of training material or what the LLM is used for
Companies are the ones doing that.
Running an LLM inherently requires a large amount of energy. Whether locally run or in a large data center. Companies just make it happen on an insane scale.
Yes but the LLM is not the thing making the decision to do that on that scale. The people using it are.
This is a shit take.
They aren't what is unethical. Capitalism is unethical as it is inherently exploitative because that is how you maximize profit, or gain profit in the first place.
I'm going to be a pedant and say that capitalism is not a conscious being capable of free will and therefore cannot abide by a code of ethics BUT individuals choosing to participate in a capitalist system make it much more difficult (impossible) to behave ethically.
Well yeah if you want to get into the semantics of it
What a novel and unique perspective. IDGAF

I thought I was talking to Kirk. Replied to the wrong person.
If only there were some easily-accessible tool to make it so that ignorant opinions of specific idiots could be expunged forever from your feed.
Oh, wait! There is! Holy shit! It's almost as if we knew how to do this in the '80s already!
As you'll find out shortly if you waste your energy trying to respond to this.
