+== Appeal Artificial intelligence deletion ==
+Somebody proposed deletion of the article for the reason: "Does not pertain directly to consumer rights or violations."
+Further, in the discussion it was noted that the article is wordy.
+I agree that the article needs significant revision.  It has more detail than needed on some areas (e.g. web scraping), and totally misses other important areas.
+I think it might be easier to improve the existing article, rather than having to start one from scratch.
+I see AI more as a theme/background article.  AI is so pervasive now, and affects people in so many ways, that I think it makes sense to have at least one article on it.
+Things that I think such an article should cover include:
+Data centers - environmental impacts, community impacts, energy demand and subsidy by electricity and water rate payers, and how many of these agreements are made in secret, even in nominally democratic/open governmental systems.  In the US data centers are often located in marginalized communities, where people are not as organized to protect their community .  (This is not exclusively an AI thing might be worth a separate article about data centers in general, covering crypto mining operations, etc.)
+Control of information - Use of LLM in place of search is decimating independent information sources (taking away advertising revenue, taking away views).
+Inaccuracy and inappropriate use of LLM.  "Hallucinations"  People not understanding what an LLM is and assuming they are more capable than they are.  LLM make a poor substitute for human written product reviews.  (Inaccurate, praises whatever the user wants - even products that don't exist.)
+Intellectual property - piracy in training data (using stolen data), use of output.
+Privacy and security - data poisoning, ease of subverting guardrails, gathering data for training, revealing prompts, law enforcement review of chatbot prompts and outputs, etc.
+Concerns about possible effects on users - AI psychosis, etc.
+Labor concerns - conditions of labelers/piece workers.
+Liability - LLM are often inaccurate, what happens when the AI harms people (libel, suicide, etc.)
+In short, I think there is a lot about LLMs and AI that is important for consumers.  I hope the above gives some sense of why.  However, I only just started here, and will be careful to read the policies and examples in more detail before editing articles.
+I have sources for a bunch of this, will be adding them to the article talk page as time permits.  Thank you. [[User:Drakeula|Drakeula]] ([[User talk:Drakeula|talk]]) 18:33, 4 September 2025 (UTC)
