Online debate: can AI and LLMs be used ethically?
Original: Please ELI5 the arguments people use to claim it's possible to use AI/LLMs ethically, locally, openly etc. https:// pief
A discussion question circulating in open-source forums asks people to explain, in simple terms, the arguments for using AI and large language models ethically, locally and openly. Respondents weigh points such as running models on one's own hardware, using openly licensed weights, avoiding data theft, and reducing reliance on big tech companies. Others remain sceptical, citing training data provenance, energy use and labour conditions. The thread reflects ongoing friction in tech communities over whether ethical AI use is possible at all.
Why now: Communities are actively debating whether open-source, locally run AI resolves the ethical concerns around large language models.
