I personally don’t think there is an ethical way of transforming LLMs into AI, at least not yet. As unfortunately there are too many complications with how it’s being peddled and the great slop impact that is hurting open source projects. I do think that companies engaging in machine learning and LLM development need to be heavily restricted and forced to comply with laws that will protect human jobs, human made content, websites, and software projects from their activities. Data stealing crawler bots need to be especially regulated, preferably out of existence, as they essentially DDOS websites that they crawl while stealing data from creatives that host websites and blogs.

Given that humans can reshape their environment in drastic ways, I think humanity needs to our dial collective focus on being more in harmony with nature and less fighting against it. We can do that by better understanding the world, by studying the oceans, fully mapping them in the least intrusive way possible. We have to carefully consider the impact that human activities have on our only home world, when new ideas are being considered. I think an ethical approach would be that technological progress has a positive impact on both the natural world and still improve the human condition.
