Honestly, at this point I’d settle for just “AI cannot be bundled with anything else.”

Neither my cell phone nor TV nor thermostat should ever have a built-in LLM “feature” that sends data to an unknown black box on somebody else’s server.

(I’m all down for killing with fire and debt any model built on stolen inputs,.too. OpenAI should be put in a hole so deep that they’re neighbors with Napster.)

Clear reporting should include not just the incremental environmental cost of each query, but also a statement of the invested cost in the underlying training.
