I noticed almost everybody here agrees that all AI is bad, and anything produced by AI is slop. and refuse to use any software made in part or in whole with AI or help of AI? Please mention your background and usage of AI with your answer.

    If the people building and hosting models won’t build them from ethically sourced data and won’t host them without disrupting or negatively impacting the communities they are hosted in (noise pollution, power and water rates increasing, layoffs, diesel generators, etc) then I won’t use them and would advocate against their use.

    I don’t expect the tech to go away but you can make a hammer from stolen resources and use it to harm individuals and communities or you can build it from ethically sourced material and use it to build things people need. If there’s an ethically sourced model quantized to run on commodity hardware locally without contributing to further wealth inequality, theft, and community disruption I won’t have the same moral objections to using it as I would for any of the current corporate owned llms.

      I agree with you on most part and value your reasonable response. However, before we can get AI to run ethically on commodity hardware, I guess most of us will not be here, or will be very tired of it. We may need a major break thru in hardware to be able to run it and make productive use of it. I am continually in search of ways to run it locally and retain the same level of productivity to using it over the cloud. But truth is current state is still not ready for self hosting LLMs.

      So I respect your stand point but be prepared that a change for the better is going to take a lot of time.
