I don't know why open sourcing malicious software is worthy of praise but okay.
I'll bite, what is malicious about this?
What's malicious about AI and LLMs? Have you been living under a rock?
At best it is useless, and at worst it is detrimental to society.
I disagree, LLMs have been very helpful for me and I do not see how an open source AI model trained with open source datasets is detrimental to society.
I don't know what to say other than pull your head outta the sand.
No you.
Explain your exact reasons for thinking it's malicious. There's a lot of FUD surrounding "AI," a lot of which come from unrealistic marketing BS and poor choices by C-suite types that have nothing to do with the technology itself. If you can describe your concerns, maybe I or others can help clarify things.
These models are trained on human creations with the express intent to drive out those same human creators. There is no social safety net available so those creators can maintain a reasonable living standard without selling their art. It won't even work--the models aren't good enough to replace these jobs, but they're good enough to fool the C-suite into thinking they can--but they'll do lots of damage in the attempt.
The issues are primarily social, not technical. In a society that judges itself on how well it takes care of the needs of everyone, I would have far less of an issue with it.
So in a nutshell, it's malicious because you said so
Ok gotcha Mr/Ms/Mrs TechnoBigot
Yes, that's totally what I said.
Something we all agree on
