Generative AI is unethical because:
1-It's extremely bad for the environment due to it's excessive power grid usage
2-It violates copyright laws, and steals the work of thousands of artists, writers, and musicians.
3-It replaces human workers and experts in the workforce who deserve to be hired and payed for their work.
4-It reduces peoples critical thinking skills as they rely on it more than their own brain
5-Generative AI is a glorified word predictor, and often comes up with misinformation or 'hallucinations' of stuff that it has just flat out made up.
6-AI pulls from sources online (which is stealing, and) that means it gets stuff from all the joke posts, false information, and other random crap that's out there. It will give information from a Harvard site and from Reddit simultaneously.
7-The models I'm aware of don't site sources, allowing companies to avoid the question of intellectual property theft, and making it much harder for consumers to double check it's answers.
I'm not against AI as a whole, if someone can come up with an ethical way to use it, but I haven't seen that yet so I continue to distance myself from it. I try to respect people who use it in small ways, or have to use it for work/school, even though I disagree with them. I don't think getting super angry at people who use it because they think it's harmless is a solution, instead I think we should do our best to inform them and move on if they refuse to listen.
Thanks for coming to my Tedtalk
