What would it take to build AI ethically?

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
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.
I don't agree summarization is an OK use case as a product. Maybe as a one off thing that a user explicitly requests of their own data within an office suite or whatever.
Meanwhile, I've been looking at the mincemeat "Google AI mode" makes of my essays, completely changing the meaning and giving people false conclusions which misrepresent my position. It's shockingly awful.
Yes, they cannot reason at all, despite clever marketing names like 'reasoning models'. A responsible operator must verify all output, something humans can't collectively be trusted to do. Even when verification is performed, we must ask ourselves if 'old-fashioned' thinking wouldn't have given a just as good or better result. IMO, it's hard to find anything positive about this technology.
Something related I've been thinking about: they're unable to produce truth or lies, only output.
