It’s a little frustrating to see you understand that the AI was developed unethically through theft but still defend its usage. You say it doesn’t make the tech inherently unethical, but yes, the models used right now *were* trained unethically. Using/defending them is an approval of this practice

Silly example, but can accept your phone (or clothing, chocolate, social media… you name it) was created unethically, and wish you lived in a world where it wasn’t, but still accept that using it is not inherently unethical. This is just a matter of choosing if it is or isn’t your battle.

I don’t eat chocolate but I understand what you’re getting at. My feeling is that we ought to push back against non-essential uses of AI if we find it unethical. Phones are connected to slave trade and also it is very hard to participate in modern society without one. Society does not need LLMs
