David, I thought you were really cool. But it turns out you're not really against Gen AI after all.

@kimcrawley It starts by a clear "no" , right? It also says i disapprove it, but it has a nuance for the computer science and FLOSS projects who use the technics (not with any proprietary AI of course, crawled on data without consent), with just their in-house models trained on small in house ethical datasets, for statistic, scientific research or image algorythm (eg. Filters, Sharpenîng, img search local). Sorry for not being in absolute purity and have a nuance. I' m like that on many topics.

There's absolutely no such thing as ethical Gen AI. I'm not talking about types of machine learning that existed before 2022. That's not Gen AI. I'm talking about *generative* "AI."

And there's no such thing as "ethical" Gen AI, nor "it'll get better in the future!" Even your "what if it's just local, on device!" is a bullshit excuse.

Gen AI is inherently fascist.

Gen AI is inherently brainwashing and mindwarping.

The massive environmental destruction and training off off massive amounts of people's creations without permission isn't the only problem with Gen AI.

And I'm sick and fucking tired of people's obsession with finding "nuance" in inherently evil shit. Take a strong stance against evil, or be a coward.

If only you had the moral courage of Anthony Moser, rather than the cowardice of a tech bro.

@kimcrawley @davidrevoy Locally used for blind users with PD data from Gutenberg and PD music and movies, that's a fair case. What Meta did it's blatant stealing of copyrighted (and copylefted) data.
