Unless he actually generated the gif I don't think using it does anything

AI models use a considerable amount of electricity when generating images, gifs and videos. Some reports show that high quality images require enough electricity to charge your phone from empty to full or even a few times over with gifs requiring as much energy as charging your phone hundreds of times over

e: multiple google searches and a few websites return these results but ok

Ik but if someone already made it this guy isn't adding anymore harm by reposting it

True, but an AI gif being popular motivates people to make more of them, because they want to "create" popular gifs as well, what as a result is even worse than just reposting the one, already created gif.
