A lot of us here hate AI because of how it was built: training data gathered without the creators’ explicit, opt-in consent, data centers that negatively affect communities’ access to clean water and energy, a technology design that is inherently prone to hallucinations, etc. At least, those are the main reasons why I hate it.

I think I might actually want to support an AI project if I thought it was being done right. Maybe we could get more people away from exploitative models if there was a non-exploitative alternative.

So what would it take to build AI ethically, in your opinion? And do you know of anyone trying to build AI without these issues?

    YOUR data was already stolen to build these models. You are already being actively exploited. This applies to everyone who has ever put something out onto the internet. The best way to usher in an era of ethical AI is to use the tools that exist now in whatever way necessary to ensure we beat the fascists worldwide and then restore sanity to the law.
