 @d1dcf6c5 those comparisons are a little extreme for me , but they still work

The American south ran its economy on slavery for 100+ years - utterly indefensible, but the argument against wasn't that it "wasn't useful", it's that it was morally abhorrent

I'm all for arguments against LLMs that detail the harm they are causing

 @simon@fedi.simonwillison.net well I am drunk now but AI is basically reliant on slave labor to clasify data and ignoring copyright. so slave labor and stolen labor too  #if-i-said-a-stupid-thing-ignore-it-pls  #if-i-said-something-logical-not-that-much  #please-respond-in-24-hours-if-the-argument-was-stupid

 @d1dcf6c5 New models are coming out so fast now and from such a diverse group of research labs that I wouldn't be surprised to see one trained entirely on out-of-copyright data at some point soon - I'm very much looking forward to seeing how well that works

Adobe have one of those for image generation now - their Firefly model was trained exclusively on licensed stock photography, and in fact that's one of their selling points for it
