- skybrian 1y agoDon't call it "free labor" at all then? Regardless, running an LLM is usually not free.
- sshine 1y agoI wouldn’t be able to express the embedded irony if I didn’t use this oxymoron. On the one hand, AI doesn’t classify as labor in a traditional sense, even though some aspire to replace labor with AI. On the other hand, if it classified as labor under some new definition, it isn’t free when you consider the external costs of outsourcing basic brain activity, as an individual and as a society.
