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.
