A new community rule for language model disclosure (lemmy.ml)

I’m trying to look at this from a neutral point of view which is why I believe enforcing a disclosure, when (AI) models are used, would benefit the community.

I believe using models can harm privacy when not used correctly because they’re more likely to output misleading or outright incorrect information due to "hallucinations". And from my experience, more often than not is this the case with the projects I see.

I’m curious what others think about this, if you disagree, please let me know why.

Language is, in addition to being a basis for communication, a set of tools for thought. Each word can enable the contemplation of whole concepts. Try to explain or think about time without using the word time, for example. The AI we have is a map of our langauge, of some of the tools we use for thought. This map is being sold as the territory. Ai is being sold as thought.

At a minimum, privacy requires understanding, feeling, and veracity. AI can provide none of these things, being absent of thought as it is, and as such has no place in this space.
