Like a flower is not right or wrong for blooming a certain way, it just does what it does and does not care about your right and wrong. This is simply because there is no morality outside of human society and therefore no way to establish right or wrong. In fact, it is us who are right or wrong when we are using a model. We can use it in meaningful ways or nonsensical ways, it's our choice. That's why it's us who are right or wrong. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Viceversa@lemmy.world 1 point 5 months ago Who are talking about morals? permalink fedilink source parent [–] Gap@lemmy.world 1 point 5 months ago If I make a model of gravity which says that earth has a gravity of 1000000 m/s^2 then that model would be wrong. No morality question at all. Your comment however feels like an AI trying to justify the existence of AI models through the argument of "guns don't kill people, people kill people" permalink fedilink source parent
