First of all stop calling it AI. It is just large language models for the most part.
Second: immediate carbon tax in line with the current damage expectations for emissions on the energy consumption of datacenters. That would be around 400$/tCO2 iirc.
Third: Make it obligatory by law to provide disclaimers about what it is actually doing. So if someone asks "is my partner cheating on me". The first message should be "this tool does not understand what is real and what is false. It has no actual knowledge of anything, in particular not of your personal situation. This tool just puts words together that seem more likely to belong together. It cannot give any personal advice and cannot be used for any knowledge gain. This tool is solely to be used for entertainment purposes. If you use the answers of this tool in any dangerous way, such as for designing machinery, operating machinery, financial decisions or similar you are liable for it yourself."
Agreed LLMs for mass consumption should come with some disclaimer
It absolutely can be used for knowledge gain it just depends what you are trying to learn, for example they excel at teaching languages. I speak 3 languages, my mother tongue Persian, English for business/most things and Spanish because of where I live now. Using an LLM I've been teaching myself French was easier than Duolingo was ever able to do.
Leave it to the anti-AI people to show their misunderstandings fast and early. LLMs are AIs, they're not general AIs
The path finding system of most games with enemies are also AI. Its a generic term
When someone thinks of the word "AI", they probably think of a sentient computer, not a lot of math. Its causing confusion on how it works and what it can do
"This tool is exclusively built to respond to your chats how a person would. this includes claiming it knows things reguardless of it actually does. it's knolage is limited to it's 'training' process' "
