What so-called "AI" is not and will never be:
- ethical
- explainable
- safe
- democratic
- good
- in the public interest
- transformative
- emancipatory

edit: + feminist + sustainable + reasoning + sentient + open-source + accountable + for the people + liberatory

Please add to the list, I am sure I have forgotten some of the "feel-good" labels.

I am so fed up with people who insist on their illusions, who insist on [fill in] "AI" while refusing to talk about how "AI" works and its impact.

@alineblankertz It's also neither artificial nor intelligent

@vronimus_ironimus @alineblankertz "artificial" is the one thing, I'd say, is accurate. These models don't grow on trees 😉

@claudius They don't. But they rely on the labor of people, the children working in mines for hardware, the people in the chip factories, the people sorting and labeling data, the artists work they stole from.
