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.

Is everyone posting ghibli-style memes using ethical, licensed or open data models?

No, they're using a corporate model that was trained unethically. I don't see what your point is, though. That's not inherent to how LLMs or other AIs work, that's just corporations being leeches. In other words, business as usual in capitalist society.

You're right about it not being inherent to the tech, and I sincerely apologize if I insist too much despite that. This will be my last reply to you. I hope I gave you something constructive to think about rather than just noise.

The issue, and my point, is that you're defending a technicality that doesn't matter in real world usage. Nearly no one uses non-corporate, ethical AI. Most organizations working with it aren't starting from scratch because it's disadvantageous or outright unfeasible resourcewise. Instead, they use pre-existing corporate models.

Edd may not be technically right, but he is practically right. The people he's referring to are extremely unlikely to be using or creating completely ethical datasets/AI.

You're right and I need to stop doing it. That's a good reminder to go and enjoy the fresh spring air 😄
