Lots of people on Lemmy really dislike AI’s current implementations and use cases.

I’m trying to understand what people would want to be happening right now.

Destroy gen AI? Implement laws? Hoping all companies use it for altruistic purposes to help all of mankind?

Thanks for the discourse. Please keep it civil, but happy to be your punching bag.

    Energy consumption limit. Every AI product has a consumption limit of X GJ. After that, the server just shuts off.

    The limit should be high enough to not discourage research that would make generative AI more energy efficient, but it should be low enough that commercial users would be paying a heavy price for their waste of energy usage.

    Additionally, data usage consent for generative AI should be opt-in. Not opt-out.

      Out of curiosity, how would you define a product for that purpose? It’s pretty easy to tweak a few weights slightly.

        You can make the limit per-company instead. With big fines if you make thousands of companies to get around the law.
