Someone used Midjourney to AI-generate images of politicians cheating on their spouses — though claims that it was well-intentioned.

I don’t disagree with the point you’re making*, but please, #SayTheWord - we are disabled, not handicapped (note that at the end of this they also discuss a shift to person first language, as in “person with disability”, which some people do prefer, but many others, myself included, still favour simply “disabled” or “disabled person/adult/child/whatever is relevant”).
*I will just say that disabled people currently needing to, in most cases, exchange privacy and sometimes even security so that the companies selling these devices can make even more money, for access to these new technologies, is not something we should be ok with, and we should be fighting for accessibility that isn’t dependant on profiteering, but instead on the actual will to include disabled people in society.
There are lots of open source projects involving AI that you can run on your personal computer. I think the community-driven projects are heading in the right direction, but it’s completely opposite for the ones owned by corporations as they’re only driven by profit margins, not people.
The problem with “open source” in the context of AI is that the source code is a much smaller factor than the training dataset. AI companies running around and scraping everybody’s data as if they own anything they see is a real problem raising massive ethical and legal concerns.
I apologize that my choice of language was insulting to you. I am disabled(using your word, tho I grew up with and an comfortable with my own terms), so I rarely think about terminology for myself. I’ll try to remember I’m the future.
As per your point, well I do see a problem with excess profits on the backs of other people, I also realize that innovation does not come for free. However you should probably look at open source AI . It is one of the fastest growing areas. I think if you are concerned about privacy and profits it would probably do you good to work with campaigns that are trying to get legislation passed in this area.
