Tenna!! | ๐ค๐๏ธ I apologize for being a bit late to the discussion, but I agree with some of your points (especially the ones about taking away opportunities from people and stealing our work and art and music), and while it can be helpful, obviously, thereโs the problem of AI taking and using water to be powered. Iโve seen interviews with people who live next to the service hubs, and their water pressure and availability is almost next to nothing.
Another thing Iโve seen people bring up about the chatbots (Copilot, GPT, Gemini, Grok, cai/chai, etc.) is that they use them for companionshipโsometimes after a day, they want to talk to someone, but they are so emotionally and physically drained that they cannot bring themselves to talk to someone.
(Whether through fear that they will only drain them more, or people are busy, etc.)
While I understand this and have done this myself, they can be addictiveโI myself do not know anyone who has depended on them so much like this, but I have seen reports and posts about things like this, and continued use only uses more resources, and makes you more and more addicted.
Going off of that, I think that occasional use is okay in moderation.
I guess what Iโm trying to say is that AI is definitely bad for the environment, but I can understand the usage on occassion.
