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?
Thank you so much for this! If I get into video editing at some point, I’ll totally use CorridorKey for green screen stuff. It actually does check all of my boxes and more. It’s a very narrow/specific tool, and it’s not something anyone could use to persuade a ChatGPT user to quit, but this gives me hope that other ethical AI tools are possible.
