I find this an appalling take.
- You criticize making this transcription+translation model available on the grounds that this specific native language is so holy that they shouldn’t be permitted?!
- You deride in a lengthy way the model, which is powerful and more versatile than other state-of-the art models?!
- You get hung up on ridiculous details, like how the Maori language was not tagged as Māori in the code, and you keep using the Maori term for the Maori language?! (This is as ridiculous as insisting on calling every French cheese fromage, because the French do so.)
- You keep bringing up racist, colonial imageries, and it is just a harmfree language model?! It is not even a generative model. It is a transcription + translation model.
- You talk about being anchored in the community etc and gaining the trust of the indigenous etc. Why are you so holier-than-thou?!
- This is really long, without much content. You don’t make differentiated points. You’re just offended as a default setting and go out of your way to justify being offended.
