It’s foolish to think this will just blow over, and the tech will magically disappear, no matter how you think about its ethics.
It’s better to take control of the technology directly, promote open-source models, push local usage, use it as a tool for the people, not as a tool for corporations. Use the tech against the elites. Show how fragile their position is.
If you don’t take control of the situation, the world will take control of it for you.
I don’t want to use LLMs. I feel the majority of use cases for LLMs are inauthentic, lazy, unhelpful, and uncreative.
Well, that’s just your opinion. Don’t accuse everybody else who are using it as evil psychopaths, under some “LLM psychosis”.
I personally use some form of LLM several times a week, and it saves time on programming and searches. The local image models out there allow me to create mostly whatever scene I want, usually about 80-90% of the way, and I spend a few hours trying to get that extra 10%. It turns my programming skill into something I can use towards art, instead of having to find some stock image online and use my poor image editing skills to create something that is mostly stolen, anyway.
Ahhh, yes, the “stick your head in the sand until it blows over” strategy. Because that’s always worked, right?
I’m saying don’t use unethical tech. If you want to interpret that as sticking your head in the sand, you can, but I think you’re being obtuse.
Unless you’re advocating that we go and burn down the infrastructure that runs these LLMs - is that what you’re saying?

It feels like I’ve said “fizzy drinks are bad” and you’ve told me to drink diet sodas.
I understand that dbzero is a pro-AI instance, so I think we’re just fundamentally not going to agree on this. 🤷♂️

Yeah I know it’s my opinion, that’ll be why I said “I feel” and “I think”.
Not gonna read about how you use your bs chatbot, I don’t care 🤷♂️
