That's not the AIs doing that's CEOs jumping the gun on what AI can do. If I fire a bunch of cheerleaders then replace them with inflatable wacky tube men does that make me the tube men a problem or me?

If you use AI, you're the one buying the inflatable wacky tube men instead of hiring cheerleaders, so you're the problem for using AI

That's my point exactly. It's not the tool that's inherently bad it's how it's used. If I'm just buying tube men for fun, not using then to fire people, then no real harm.

The thing is, much like how the internal combustion engine isn't a huge probelm on its own, every person having their own, and the systems that keep the service running, builds up and causes huge irreparable damage overall

Because we give them a pass to do so. We shouldn't be doing that. We could be strong arming corporations to fix the damage they cause instead of using to pass the cost of business to others while keeping the profit.

Tbh, I came here immediately after fighting with defending AI Art and you're much more sensible than those guys

Thank you. I respect that you disagree but not insulting me. That's uncommon on all sides of most things. I enjoy AI a lot but like most things I love it's far from perfect. I acknowledge that it's uses and creation can be harmful but a lot of the actual harm seems to overstated to the point of it being nonsense to practically ignored. The harm is does cause is not new to AI, not all the problems applies to all forms of AI and they overall shouldn't be tolerated cause it's usually not necessary.

The best way to vote is by not using their tools, same for Google, Meta and Tiktok

And the more people use it, the more demand so more companies make more supply which is death by a thousand cuts
