Look, I know AI is controversial, but just for a moment, let's set aside our preconceived notions, our biases, the environmental impact, the massive cost to train and run models, the labor exploitation, the intellectual property theft, the inaccuracies, the mania it causes in users, the destruction of search, the deskilling of professionals, the devaluation of creative work, job losses, and lack of economic value from enterprise implementations.

Wait, what were we talking about?

There are 5 main reasons creatives hate AI:

1) Consent: Grabs their work without asking.

2) Credit: Doesn't give them credit.

3) Compensation: Doesn't pay them.

4) Commodification: Trivializes the craft they learned diligently, over time.

5) Replacement: Takes their paying gigs away.

Then as you pointed out, there's the environment impact.

One of the projects in my queue is:
"maLcoLM: the ethical AI", which addresses ALL these concerns.

@maxleibman

Artists voluntarily submit their work as training data to maLcoLM.

maLcoLM credits artists.

maLcoLM pays artists automatically anytime a derivative work is generated, in exact proportion to the extent their original work contributed to the derived work.

maLcoLM is a tribute to artists' hard work, a super-charged creative tool to let them take creativity to the next level.

maLcoLM will generate more paying work at a higher level of sophistication, not replace people.

@purrperl @maxleibman I happened upon Mastrodon while doing an assignment for school.

Not only am I happy that I stumbled upon this amazing place, but thank everyone of you for being here submitting your thoughts, your knowledge, and providing information that I otherwise would never know about.

In saying this, thank you for your post, I have never heard of MalColm myself and will definitely take a peek-see to find out more about it and how it would benefit me.

Thank you.
