MODERATORS
I feel like people don't discuss it much, because it would mostly amount to "Capitalism, amiright?". It's not surprising that companies have no consideration for their actions, other than how it affects shareholder value.
I'm certainly not fond of artistic careers not being viable anymore, especially since LLMs hardly create new jobs to catch these people.
Also really not a fan of all the spam that killed internet search, nor the climate impact. For a moment, I felt like we had the IT industry back on track, after cryptomining folded. Nope, here's a way to burn tons of energy for you to generate some text or image that is unlikely to contribute much to anything.
At the same time, of course, there's some opportunities there. Mozilla is generating alt texts for images, so that visually impaired folks have a description to go off of. Like, that feels worth it.
If we switch to 100% regenerative energy and solve the unemployment problems (which I'm not holding my breath for), then I would also be onboard with having some fun with it. Then we can build videogames and have tons of texts in there, which get voiced by some AI.
Like, that's definitely where feeling comes in. If the ethics of it are garbage, then I cannot get excited about dicking aroubd with it. I know many people ignore the ethics, but that is just weird to me.
