Ah yes, the reality that consists in giving up on all proper solutions out of being "down to earth", effectively solving nothing.
The proper not possible solution... Sure...
People like you are the reason I gave up on the things getting better. What you people propose has nothing to do with how the world works we live in. It's all based on how the world should work.
Good luck with banning llms, seems realistic.
Yeah, I forgot how easy it is to hide datacenters and massive data collection. Really, really hard to enforce, huh.
You can, as of this very moment, download a 16 GB LLM and run it on your local computer. Or any bigger version, if you happen to have a beefy computer. LLMs are software. Good luck banning software. This is the internet.
ALSO, even if you do happen to be able to ban AI training facilities and such in the U.S., and those models become outdated, you can even go download some Chinese models too! They are not going away.
