People who think it's positive are genuinely deluded

I don’t feel any strong emotions toward it. It’s a useful tool in the present tense, and that’s really all I can see. I’m not even positive or negative on it per say. It just exists. Like Google

It's great in theory but it should never have been commercialized. It can do great things but when people use it for slop, the cons begin to outweigh the benefits. The average person on the average day doesn't need AI.

Except google didnt use the same amount of non replenish able water in 2025 as the entire bottled water industry. You dont get to be neutral if youre choosing to be uneducated.

You’re acting as if humans wouldn’t have found some other excuse to continue to waste water and money. The AI bubble is just another space race, and it’ll likely pop eventually. Not much we can do because we’re not billionaires or politicians

Stop using it. Thats what you can do. Your one prompt is a full 16 oz water bottle. Be an individual and make your own decision

The AI bubble isn’t going to burst just because we stop using it lol. The AI bubble is about the U.S. being the first to achieve a fully functional, REAL AI before China can. That’s pretty much it. These AI companies are hemorrhaging money every year, but the government keeps subsidizing them in hopes that true AI is possible. That’s the point. None of this is gonna stop regardless of what choices we make individually.

Im not talking about the bubble im talking about the fact that you are an individual human who is allowed to hold beliefs and make choices outside of whatever societal trends youre choosing to instead obsess over

I don’t obsess over societal trends, actually. I just believe AI is individually useful. I also hold the belief that we, individually, make no difference as to how much of the world AI destroys. Our usage of AI doesn’t even COMPARE to the amount of energy wasted training AI, and the societal harm in that. My point is they’ll continue to churn out their slop regardless of whether we’re interested or not. Because they see long-term profits in application. That’s it.

This isn’t like the plastic crisis where I genuinely believe individuals CAN make a difference, this is a geopolitical issue more than an environmental issue. Our individual choices don’t matter. As long as the government sees AI as a valuable tool, then their actions will lead to the environmental harm. We’re just a fraction of that, and that fraction isn’t cost effective to preserve
