#Academia #AcademicChatter Watching an symposia on #AI use in #Genetics and #Genomics. At least one person is using corporate LLMs to power their platform to understand SNP-disease associations. I asked if the corporate model use is ethical or do we need ethical models for research use (I mean I don't want them anyway, but that's another thing). Person's answer sums to: I wouldn't say that LLMs are from intellectual theft. It was scraped from the open web so it's ethical. Oh. Sweet child.

    @thatdnaguy@genomic.social perhaps "Oh. Sweet child." - with the right intonation - is indeed an appropriate answer. I only fear, that in a similar situation, I will not be quick-witted enough ...
