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?

Existing renewable only dedicated power supply, your own hardware manufacturer, so you don't disturb the rest of the market, a cooling solution that magically does not harm the environment and a DC somewhere it doesn't disturb anything.

And of course an ethical dataset. So data that was explicitly provided for training.

Okay hear me out. DC underground. The generated heat is used to heat houses!
