1. What will we do without new innovations in scamming technology? And how will we manage if we don’t throw tons of people out of the workforce and subject them to the capricious whims of an ever increasingly meager social safety net? Pursuing this technology at the cost of a habitable planet is a no brainer, literally. So sayeth the cult of endless growth.

2. It’s ridiculous how useless most of this AÍ crap is. We’re dying for nothing.

3. It’s a function so few people want and they want to shove it down our throats. Only way I would jump on board is if it was used to combat misinformation when someone posts it.

4. No

5. Tbh I don’t think poorly made pixel generalized anime girl with five boba is worth killing the planet for

   Hiring artist is much more energy efficient

6. Why are they making energy for AI sound worse than the energy required for transportation, housing, and all the factories in the world?

   Why are they blaming energy use on AI, when so many are still choosing fossil energy instead of renewables for everything else?

7. Human climate? No. But who says AI needs humans?
