      AI hurts the environment, and damages critical-thinking skills. It is trained on stolen art and private conversations, sorted overseas by traumatised, disgustingly underpaid data-labelers.

        What do you think your phone is made of? What do you think your computers are made of? How do you think your bananas, chocolate, rice, tea, and a bunch of other things are made? Are you going to swear off those and judge those that don’t?

          I use a Fairphone (and I’ll keep using it for the next decade, as far as I’m concerned), my computers are second-hand, I don’t eat bananas, chocolate, or rice, and I don’t drink tea.

          These things pale in comparison to the consequences of using AI. It’s like comparing the carbon emissions of a gas stove to those of a private jet.

            Lmao, you sure about that? How do you think they get to you? Even before AI came along citizens from rich countries were contributing double or more to greenhouse gases than poorer nations.

            How much did AI add on top? 5%? 10%?

            I don’t eat bananas, chocolate, or rice, and I don’t drink tea

            Kek. And you live on air and sunlight too, I’m sure.

              “How do [I] think they get to [me]?” What are “they”?

              5-10% is an insane amount of carbon emissions, and dismissing it is particularly inane.

              I actually hate sunlight, and prefer living off pickles and peanut butter sandwiches. I do need air, though.

      It’s OK, bud. You’re allowed to use the slop machines without feeling the need to defend it.
