There is no ethical use for web-trained gen AI. It’s built on other people’s IP and it’s an environmental liability. If you’re using it, that’s what you’re supporting.

I will admit I struggle with the fact that I agree with many points you make and also work in tech where the prevailing sentiment is inevitability which has caused me to develop an extremely nuanced position that probably fits nobody's rubric save my own.
I also believe there is a high likelihood that web-trained AI models will collapse on themselves under the weight of consuming their own genAI content.
I’m all for ethical machine learning with properly vetted data sets. Giant web-trained LLMs are an obscenely expensive bubble. We’ll have to see what comes after it bursts, but I hope they take a more grounded route.
