I like your thought process, but struggle to agree with you because I don't believe there is a way for this kind of technology to be ethical without being rebooted (haha) from the ground up. Even so, about the only thing I think it should be used for is double checking what humans have already done, or perhaps printing text from human speech for quick and dirty subtitles. However, all that is assuming that the data it is working off of was not stolen, and that it is not able to "generate" anything "new" because that's just theft and exploitation.

    Youre right in it needing to be rebooted, and thats sort of what im getting at. The technical side (the idea of how models work) is fine. Problem is big companies fed it with stolen content. And instead of optimising its performance they instead decided to burn even more of our environment.

    I wholeheartedly agree that is evil.

    But assume an entirely “untrained LLM” - its fed with truly proven open source, willingly contributed information, which then runs locally? I think thats ok.

    Double checking the output - thats absolutely correct. I work in software development. I have dabbled with ai code tools. I would not let them ever touch my projects directly. Using one as a sounding board was slightly helpful. but knowing the cost and impact of these models currently, its not worth it.

    Use gallons of water, and a dozen trees to feed the plagiarism machine to do my job for me? Never ever. fuck that.
