     @internetarchive @internetarchiveeurope alright, great -- but why on Earth is AI everywhere on this website ? Why is there an absolute need to include tools that are pillaging creators, destroying the planet and creating social disasters amongst invisibilized workers ? The original Internet Archive website doesn't bring this crap, why is Internet Archive Europe doing this ?

     @internetarchiveeurope @internetarchive

     You are supposed to preserve data as best as possible

     To deliberately corrupt it with AI hallucinations is to go literally against your mission

     And then there are all the known dangers of it, like license breaches, reliability, ecologic impact, ethics...

     IAE must immediately drop AI and repair all compromised information / replace all generated assets with it, for the sake of the world

     @Kalytis @internetarchive Internet Archive Europe isn't the same as Internet Archive in the US. We are a mission-aligned organization. One of our goals is to use AI tools to bring collections to life - enhance metadata, instant translations on the fly, allow for interactive uses of the vast cultural heritage that is locked up. If we limit ourselves to thinking of AI as only generative chatbots, we miss a lot of amazing applications. It's so much more.
