Given how they can only be produced by exploitation of workers from the global majority no system including any of the big LLMs in their production can ever be called "fair".

"Fair LLMs" of the size required to do the tasks people want LLMs to do (badly) do not exist.

@tante thanks! any particular aspects?

@UlrikeHahn I found its rate of very clear falsehood generation quite bad and it works even worse than other models in the contexts people use those systems (think coding assistant, rephrasing text, etc)

@UlrikeHahn on the other hand: I test these systems and have colleagues using them but I don't use any LLMs for any of my work or activities.
