Every AI article is basically this kind of excuse:

“I’m going to ignore the moral, ethical and privacy implementation of AI and just focus on the practical. Morally and ethically, AI is a train wreck. But I’m not going to focus on that.”

(I think this particular article meant implications but I’ll stick with an unedited quote.)

I doubt it’s just me but practically speaking, social issues are not just practical but include the excluded categories. This is extremely impractical discourse.

@cararemixed
i sympathise.

but many people *do* ignore those things, so arguing on those bases won't effect them.

Also, it's usually harder to make an objective argument against the ethical problems (although for LLMs you can do do that, i think)

so i think it's a valid approach to say: if i can only show that it DOESN'T WORK, it won't matter whether it's ethical.

*a* valid approach. not the only one.
