  If you ever take a flight for holiday, or even drive long distance and cry about AI being bad for the environment then you’re a hypocrite.

  Same goes for if you eat beef, or having a really powerful gaming rig that you use a lot.

    Texas has just asked residents to take less showers while datacenters made specifically for LLM training continue operating.

    This is more like feeling bad for not using a paper straw while local factory dumps all their oil change into the community river.

    Ahh so are you going to acknowledge the privacy invasion and brain rotting cause by Ai or are you just going to focus on dismissing the environmental concerns? Cause I liked more than just the environmental impacts.

      Uh dismissing that concern seems like valid point? Do people have to comprehensively discredit the whole list to reply?

    You’re getting downvoted for speaking the truth to an echo chamber my guy.

      But he isn’t speaking the truth. AI itself is a massive strain on the environment, without any true benefit. You are being fed hype and lies by con men. Data centers being built to supply AIs are using water and electricity at alarming rates, taking away the resources from actual people living nearby, and raising the cost of those utilities at the same time.

        This is valid to all data centers serving all websites. Your take is a criticism of unregulated capitalism, not AI.

        Beef farming is a far far far more impactful discussion, yet here we are.

        The same can be said for taking flights to go on holiday.

        Flying emits way exponentially more CO2 and supports the oil industry

        And your car or flight is a massive strain on the environment. I think you’re missing the point. There’s a way to use tools responsibly. We’ve taken the chains off and that’s obviously a problem but the AI hate here is irrational

        AI uses 1/1000 the power of a microwave.

        Are you really sure you aren’t the one being fed lies by con men?

        Do you really think those data centers wouldn’t have been built if AI didn’t exist? Do you really think those municipalities would have turned down the same amount of money if it was for something else but equally destructive?

        What I’m hearing is you’re sick of municipal governance being in bed with big business. That you’re sick of big business being allowed to skirt environmental regulations.

        But sure. Keep screaming at AI. I’m sure the inanimate machine will feel really bad about it.

        The problem is the companies building the data centers; they would be just as happy to waste the water and resources mining crypto or hosting cloud gaming, if not for AI it would be something else.

        In China they’re able to run DeepSeek without any water waste, because they cool the data centers with the ocean. DeepSeek also uses a fraction of the energy per query and is investing in solar and other renewables for energy.

        AI is certainly an environmental issue, but it’s only the most recent head of the big tech hydra.

    This echo chamber isn’t ready for this logical discussion yet unfortunately lol

      When someone disagrees with me - echo chamber.

    Hypocrisy can be called the primitive nature of man who chooses what is easier because he is designed that way. Human is like a cancerous tumor for the planet.

  Do you really need to have a list of why people are sick of LLM and Ai slop?

  With the number of times that refrain is regurgitated here ad nauseum, need is an odd way to put it. Sick of it might fit sentiments better. Done with this & not giving a shit is another.

  This can be called not a technology, but a weapon for killing in my opinion.
