As long as you...

(1) host and run it yourself,
(2) it's open source,
(3) it's not trained on art or personal data,
(4) it's not constantly re-trained at extreme energy costs to be "up to date",
(5) it's not advertised as an information source, therapy, search engine, artificial intelligence or anything else it's not,

there's literally no ethical issue in #LLM. It's just a mathematical language model.

I wonder how #hashtags would have been developed differently if they had been invented and popularised by people speaking a #language with strongly marked cases.

If I post 'Sauce mit Pilzen' (German for 'sauce with mushrooms'), and I would like to tag the mushrooms, I can't just go '#Pilzen', because '#Pilzen' is a different hashtag from '#Pilze'. Let alone #Pilzes and #Pilz.

Would we tag things with #SemanticWeb URIs?

Nice example of how important emphasis can be for language understanding. Depending on which word in the sentence below is emphasized, it completely changes its meaning.
For #LLMs (and for our #ise2024 lecture) this means that learning to understand language purely from written text is probably not an "easy" task....

Picture by Brian Sacash via LinkedIn (cf. https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7195767258848067584/). It reads: Extracting meaning from text can be hard. Emphasis changes everything. "I never said she stole my money. " Someone else may have said it, but it wasn't me. "| NEVER said she stole my money." I didn't make the claim at any point in time. "| never SAID she stole my money." I may have implied or thought it, but didn't say it. "| never said SHE stole my money. " Someone else may have stolen it, but it wasn't her. "| never said she STOLE my money." She may have borrowed or been given it. "| never said she stole MY money." She stole someone else's money. "| never said she stole my MONEY." She may have stolen something else.
