I love this one "i will prioritise slow, thoughtful processes in my work, resisting the pressure to optimise for speed or volume." Yet, as clients demand more for less particularly in today’s economic climate,it will become harder to hold that line. when a competitor can churn out ai slop quickly.
So I would also flip the perspective: if you’re hiring a freelancer, aim to invest in quality over quantity, and see slow, deliberate work as the higher goal. Eg commission a video you will use for 5 years.
If you are involved in building a platform think about what incentive structures your building in. Social media companies are demanding sacrifices to their idols multiple times a day, it's the worse possible environment for human thriving.
For me, LLMs are a bit like a siwss army knife. There is more than one thing you can put them to use on.
As a research assistant, this is where they shine best. But they're a bit prone to acting like an overconfident under grad. Plenty of knowledge but likely to sell you their latest madcap idea with as much enthusiasm and conviction as if they were straight up quoting Plato.
As an evaluator of your work, they're far less useful... La Fou to Gaston.
As an intellectual sparring partner, they're not too bad. But a bit like a cheap spring: they'll spring back once or twice and then give in.
This all necciatates wisdom. Like learning how to use a chainsaw that has a tendency to kick back. I'm not going to revert to a manual saw when I've got a hundred trees to take down, but I should probably wear some safety gear.
I don't think the way to go with any technology is complete abolition / avoidance. No tech is inherently good or evil; the creation of tech stems from our creative capacity, having been made in the image of God. But, as with the chain saw, any powerful tech needs wisdom and safety gear. Transparency and thoughtfulness seem like a good set of helmet and gloves at least.
With regard to the ethics... AIs are trained on artistic productions of humans. But aren't we all?!
AI could additionally be the tool to break out of the exploitation of the creative minds. I recently explored that idea in an essay, maybe that resonates with you:

Although I suppose it is good to tease this out as using AI for E.g. translation is just obviously good some of the time.
Thank you for your thoughtful rules.

God bless you 😊

If I do these things I will just never use it!
Hahahaha. See what you did there. 😁😁😉👉
