It is too power hungry to be both free and good. You can make it less power hungry by making it worse, or you can keep it good but then it costs a lot. Also, “good” is a stretch.
Except for legal liability, the other solution is good-enough models too cheap to run locally to justify paying hosting. Like prepackaged stand-alone AI on-site servers which are cheaper after electric costs than subscriptions.
So I’ve been thinking about this: where would we post massive amounts of miss information with the sole purpose of miss leading AI?
Just dump it on Reddit, it’s that simple? Or would an instance on the feddiverse also work?
Quora is being recommended in some circles:

As long as it’s free, like the rest of the internet, I kind of want AI to work.
How could we kill commercial AI and keep Free AI?
I don’t think ai will ever be neutral/benevolent. It’s too easy for fascists and the like to try and manipulate matters through it.
I personally would rather see it go away or at the very least take a backseat.
Reddit has been trying to block crawlers, including the internet archive, so they can sell their data to commercial AI companies.
