    There are very valid philosophical and ethical reasons not to use it. We’re not just being luddites for the hell of it. In many cases, we’re engineers and scientists with interest, experience, or expertise in neural nets and LLMs ourselves, and we don’t like how fast and loose (in a lot of really, really important ways) all these big companies are playing it with the training datasets, nor how they’re actively disregarding any sort of legal or ethical responsibility around the technology writ large.

        Uh, no. Why would that be the case? Every technology has unique upsides and downsides and the downsides of this one are not being handled correctly and are in fact being exacerbated.
