Cassandra is only carbon nowYesterday, had an argument with an AI booster. I'm not going to link, both because I don't want to platform that and because I don't want anyone to go harass them. But what I thought was very interesting was that I asked point-blank if there was any degree to which ethical problems with LLMs could make them not want to use AI — they told me no, there was not, and implied that they evaluated AI purely on the basis of its efficacy.
Chaddicus@xgranade yikes...there are a lot of things that are effective at efficiency accomplishing a goal that are certainly not ethical. I understand that it's easier to rationalize away ethical concerns when it's abstracted through several layers of stubbornness, doubt, etc., but I would have a very difficult time trusting or even conversing with someone who so utterly rejects ethics as a consideration. That recent satirical post someone made about the efficient orphan smashing machine comes to mind.
