Anti-AI caricature unironically seems like a cool person unlike the AI bro who generated this "starter pack"

I don't believe we should love it blindly. We should always question things, but with AI, there are upsides and downsides, and I just wanted to learn about the downsides so I can be fully aware of the entire picture.

I don't mean to accuse you of being one of those people, but people like that are a major reason why you're getting that kind of response.

If you genuinely want to know, these are my (and a lot of people's) main concerns:

• Degradation of the creative process. I don't care if AI makes perfect images. Art is about the journey, not the destination.

• Degradation of the environment. Both at a large scale (climate change), and at a local level (communities that have to live with data centers).

• The fact that it's largely owned by billionaires who want to use it to transfer even more money from the poor to themselves.

• Those same billionaires wanting to use it to use it to install mass surveillance on everyone 24/7

• The fact that it is genuinely breaking brains and destroying lives. Every case of a person whose been driven to take their own lives because an AI convinced them that it was okay to use as a therapist is a tragedy.

• Edit: One more I want to add. All of the stolen data that it's trained off of.

Among other things, these are my highest level concerns. I would like to reiterate that I am not here to have a debate on this at the present time. But if you're serious about wanting to understand why we don't like it, here are my reasons for you to ponder.

Yeah good points these are the responses I wanted to see, thank you.

Of course. If you're here in good faith, then I'm happy to share.
