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?

    Or only use your own data, which would make it useless. I thought about RAGs but Wikipedia says:

    These documents supplement information from the LLM’s pre-existing training data

    It seems that RAGs use stolen data anyway.

    And It still wouldn’t solve the issue that managers demand 10 times more work for free, it wouldn’t stop making workers crazy with the flood of reviews in programming, and execs wouldn’t stop dreaming of laying off everyone.
