#KCLS (#Seattle / #KingCounty / #PNW library system) has a survey out about whether they should adopt #AI. Leave a response, especially if you live in the area and are against AI use. There is a field for listing your &quot;concerns&quot;. I&#39;ve copied my response to that question below. Survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/G2S95M5

"What concerns, if any, do you have about AI?" All of them. Privacy concerns about training on my data/interactions; Environmental concerns about the energy and water use, especially with the federal government bolstering fossil fuels (not to mention passing those costs to residents living next to data centers); ethical concerns regarding the training of these LLMs on non consensually, often *illegally* obtained data; (1/3)

I know @alice@lgbtqia.space is in the Seattle area, if they'd be willing to boost this?

@shadow53@floss.social I’m not anywhere close to the area, but libraries are a social space, for crying out loud. No one needs an AI in a social space. Human presence and agency is the goddamn point.
