What is 'AI washing' and why is it a problem?
- notadev 2y agoThen I suppose AI laundering is where you slightly modify, or manually reproduce, the results of AI chatbots so there’s no trace that AI was used.
- candiddevmike 2y agoAI laundering is a great name for the GenAI IP/copyright reproduction problem.
- whythre 2y agoI mean… is circumventing the completely broken US IP system really a problem?
- candiddevmike 2y agoIMO, it is when it invalidates the GPL and only certain people can do it (the people who can pay for GenAI access).

- thot_experiment 2y agomost of the significant generative AI runs on a potato, and runs well on any modern GPU, obviously SotA models have worth but I have not touched a paid service since Llama was leaked and I use AI a ton in my day to day, for the rote replacing stack overflow type shit I used ChatGPT for a local copy of llama, gemma, mixtral or whatever is more than enough
- lionkor 2y agoYes
- itishappy 2y agoDepends if you fear the US legal system!

- Borrible 2y agoSo there's no Deus Ex Machina and no Wizards of OZ, just people behind curtains? I mean, they gave a hint early on with their Mechanical Turk, right?
- ilrwbwrkhv 2y agoBritish VC firms like the one quoted by this article do not have the scale, reach, money or experience to talk about these things in a meaningful way. With the UK economy in shambles, do they think their views have much value? I think they need to prove that they can run their country in a somewhat efficient manner first before commenting on technology.
- alephnerd 2y agoThere absolutely is plenty of AI washing in the entrepreneurship space, but I do agree with you about the lackluster British VC scene (and the even more morose mainland European scene). > do they think their views have much value You're talking about it... And it is the BBC - the British Broadcasting Corporation. But imo, this is why I don't read non-trade papers. They lack the context and tend to be fairly late at identifying trends. A good (non-tech) example is pig butchering call centers in SEA - The Diplomat (a de facto Carnegie Endowment magazine) broke the entire story, modus operandi, and money chain 1.5-2 years before it was reported by BBC or CNN.
- thecleaner 2y agoI am not sure why this comment was downvoted. I just discovered The Diplomat thanks to this and I paid the 80 bucks for the full sub. Haha, thank you.
- hammyhavoc 2y agoBBC publishing opinions of a British firm. Perhaps read something local and relevant to you?
