AI can be ethically used in writing. This is not an example of that. People need to get into the "AI as a tool" mindset. And capitalism causing greed is part of the issue of course.
Writing is a rare form of communication, borderline unique to humans. Because of that, to me, it’s fundamentally unethical to have “AI” “write” anything. It’s insulting to me on a base level, particularly when used for communication.
AI can be a fine tool to get writing inspiration, as with programming. It's not fine as used in this article's example.
We could also use a model or 2 trained on ethical data.
Until then its pretty easy to argue all ai is unethical.
Would citing all the training sources satisfy the spirit of attribution licenses like CC-BY?
