    It’s not simply a tool. AI has absolutely huge environmental and social costs. The data centers use up a lot of space, energy and water that could have been proper housing. Look up what it is like to live next to a data center.

    AI also causes people to get laid off because stupid executives think it can replace people. Job security is in the toilet for any job affected by this digital disease.

    AI or specifically LLMs have also completely ruined the internet. Most articles are thoughtlessly shat out by an LLM and contain errors and blatant misinformation. Sometimes they contradict themselves in less than three sentences. It has become increasingly difficult to find useful information.

    AI companies endorse fascism and manipulate social media platforms for the twisted ideas of those companies’ leaders.

    In short: Fuck AI. The gains do not outweigh the costs.
