It's not just the water use, it's the driving up of electric bills and potentially kicking people out of a job. And basically stealing art/writing/music from people. Use generative AI without heavy regulations, you are very much hurting people. Of course, if you accidentally use an AI pic, that's understandable. Given how fast it's evolving, I'm sure almost everyone will run into that at least once. But just saying "fuck it" or knowingly using it because you're "so far past caring" isn't great.

Then there's the more hideous side of it, surveilling the public to catch criminals with a system that's scanned by AI.

The "not hurting people" policy is really more of a "plausible deniability" policy combined with a "if I didn't mean to hurt you then you can't get mad at me" policy.

"Is it hurting people?" is protection against every stupid moral panic that would take down Fandom Secrets. "This person writes about angels having gay sex!" Okay, but are they hurting people by doing so?

Oh. So basically, you only care about not hurting people over stupid shit that doesn’t matter, like fanfic. When it comes to people’s livelihoods, intellectual property, and the natural resources they need to survive, hurting them is way less important than you having to not use AI.

I’d say I was disappointed, but that actually totally tracks, given it’s you.

I need to update the RAM on my computer. Last time I did it, it was $120. Thanks to AI data centers, the same amount of RAM will cost me >$500. Thanks AI. :(

It really sucks, I hope this bubble pops at some point.

Another human issue with the data centers is that they’re destroying small communities and causing major health problems for the people who were living there when they built the center. There are so many reasons not to use generative AI if you care about not hurting people or the environment. But apparently people can’t be bothered :(

[feotakahari]

People keep saying AI is bad, and then talking about the reasons data centers are bad. AI is not the reason data centers exist, and it's not even that high of a percentage of what data centers do.

Electric bills, sure. I'll give you electric bills. But I am massively, massively against any argument not to use something that "puts people out of a job." If you can afford to pay someone for a job that machines could do anyway, you might as well just pay the person without having them do unnecessary labor for it.

The actual problem here, of course, is idiot CEOs thinking AI is good enough to do your job when it can't. But they'll learn their lesson when no one wants to buy their shitty products.

It puts people out of a job and does it worse than a human would ever be employed to do just so that the owner can buy another yacht. That's what "puts people out of a job" is short for. No one would blink an eye if we came up with a machine that would build a house the same as or better than a construction crew can, because it would save a lot of injuries and should be cheaper on the consumer end. But you come out with a thing that builds a shit house that makes no sense, is annoying to live in, and falls down after ten years for the same or higher price and all the bosses adopt it so they can make money without having to pay a person leading to people with no means of making money and a shit product that's expensive and would never have been tolerated if a person made it?

Yeah, we're gonna be pissed that it's putting people out of jobs.

I agree. I don't think that AI itself is inherently a bad thing, BUT the way things work in our capitalistic society, it's not like the average person is going to have their burden eased and get to step back to a 3 day work week because AI will do work for us. Nah, instead, the average person is going to struggle even harder, while the rich people get even richer.
