You could do a lot of things, but that’s not what is happening so here we are!
Also, to be clear, “AI” is just a marketing term for LLM. You’re describing it as a capitalism problem but it’s a product of capitalism and they’re using it to make more money for themselves while it uses things people created as source material with the power of fossil fuel.
That is pretty fucked up.
Sure, it could be powered by renewables and it could be used to benefit humanity, but could doesn’t count for shit when it’s also being powered by fossil fuels and used to manipulate and even kill people.
Could is what should be. That is what we also should act according towards.
Instead of attacking symptoms, attack the root cause. Which still is capitalism. Corpos will use energy that damages the environment because they will seek the most profits and least expenses under a market economy.
LLMs and AI would still be developed under any other system. Capitalism doesn’t invent things, all it invents are ways to commodify things.
Funny. AI’s commosification of creative effort itself is what most people are hating on. Hate capitalism’s commodification on everything? Then you might consider hating the paragon of commodification built on theft!
How is AI a marketing term for LLM? Aren’t LLMs neural networks, which is an AI technique?
It sure bugs me how everyone suddenly started to use the word “AI” exclusively to refer to LLMs, but the term is not wrong either.
To a layman, no it’s not and should not be viewed as the same, either. One is a MASSIVE stack of precomputed matrices (NOT a neural network), the other a stack of predetermined algorithms with some random() thrown in.
They are all actually and literally completely different in form, function, and computing requirement.
The precomputed matrices are definitely a neural network. GPT literally stands for generative pre-trained transformer, a transformer being a well known neural network architecture.
No, a neural network is explicitly a type of architecture that mimics neurons. A transformer is just that: a methematical operation.
You’re making the mistake of calling a backhoe a “tractor” just because it’s also used for moving dirt around… Yes, both are heavy machinery, but that doesn’t magically make the terms interchangeable.

It’s AI the same way the CPU players in NHL ‘94 are AI
The video game industry has it’s own definition of what an “AI” is, which is very different than everywhere else.

Like I said. You’re mixing your terms. Linking a paper does not prove you understand what you’re talking about.
Then explain to me how the neural networks behind LLMs are not mimicking neurons. Because that’s the basic idea behind all of deep learning.
