Fuck AI

"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.

What would it take to build AI ethically? (lemmy.world)

A lot of us here hate AI because of how it was built: training data gathered without the creators' explicit, opt-in consent, data centers that negatively affect communities' access to clean water and energy, a technology design that is inherently prone to hallucinations, etc. At least, those are the main reasons why I hate it.

I think I might actually want to support an AI project if I thought it was being done right. Maybe we could get more people away from exploitative models if there was a non-exploitative alternative.

So what would it take to build AI ethically, in your opinion? And do you know of anyone trying to build AI without these issues?

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

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.
