· Föderation EN Fr 10.01.2025 12:43:39 Maybe this needs to be called "voice recognition" instead of AI? Using a term that nowadays means something awful is going to make misunderstandings more likely? (When I read the news about VLC using AI I wrongly assumed it meant generative AI, as that has totally dominated discourse.) |

Föderation EN Sa 11.01.2025 00:11:15 Whatever it's called, perhaps it needs to get across the ethics of its technology if it wants to avoid misunderstandings? If it's using massive amounts of energy and/or stolen data for training, then it's probably unethical. If it's using reasonable amounts of energy and hasn't stolen any data, then it might be ethical. (I think? Just a layperson here, might be a lot of stuff I'm missing...) |
