Comment Generative AI trained on internet data unethical (Score 1) 40
It is clear that this kind of generative "AI" (I always put the scare quotes around these things) is not possible to use ethically when it's training corpus is internet content. It appropriates the work hundreds of millions of people for their own use, and makes a mockery of the attempts of people to build a global IP commons. It's used to create bullshit products for bullshit people, and to deprive honest writers and artists of employment in fields that were already rife with uncertainty and economic injustice. Its use in commercial products at all is a red flag. These things are simply facts.
