As an ethical AI user, I begin each session by asking the chatbot to give a stolen data acknowledgement. It is an important first step toward justice.

What's an ethical AI user? A user that doesn't use GenAI?

@marc_eu @scott there is Fairly Trained, a non-profit org that aims to certify genAI models of any kind, if the content they were trained on is properly licensed: https://www.fairlytrained.org/certified-models

So far though, I mostly see music genAI models, none of them are general-purpose LLMs AFAIK.

So ethical use of genAI is possible, you just won't get a model as good as one using stolen or copyrighted work that was slurped up without a care in the world.

It's not only about stolen IP. It's also the gigantic resource costs.

@marc_eu @scott that too, especially for training the models.

If it wasn't for this hype from the AI techbros, and deals between giants like NVIDIA and OpenAI and whatnot, I'm sure there may have been more genuine efforts to continue to make training more efficient and less wasteful of our precious resources.

@marc_eu @scott I think running your own AI off solar power could be ethical. Or planting a tree for each question.
