    Until the datasets to train the models are curated and paid for, there won’t be an ethical LLM.

    I haven’t looked into smaller models, but I’d wager that training the models is still power intensive.

    And finally, how the LLM are used currently make them a net negative.

      I understand the lack of ethics and I agree that their current mode of use is definitely a net negative, but was wondering more about the impact on the environment specifically.
