I was thinking how operating systems such as Windows are implementing
features such as co-pilot and recall, and these are just part of updates to
the system, rather than features a user chooses to install. AI has great
potential if used in the right way to say a tool that analyses data.
I didn't use Windows since 25+ years, since I have found
GNU/Linux. But at the time, it was my choice. So if people decide to
use Windows they will inevitably find non-free software.
Like going to the jungle, if my first choice is to visit jungle, I
should not complain much about snakes inside.
There are many free software Artificial Intelligence, you can download
and run it on your own computer, or you can install it on servers.
Was there not discussion on how AI is writing code based on what is on
github, with or without proper attribution to where it came from, so there
are moral and ethical issues here. The free software community believe we
have better ethical model to say closed source models, I am not suggesting
we reject AI, just think about who controls that particular tool and what
their overall Modus Operandi isl which for companies such as Meta etc is to
make money, AI and algorithms drive what users see on their feeds for
example.
Things changed, there are many free software AI language models and
software, research and choose which one to contribute to. Start using
it.
