@KimSJ @Crell the reminds me of the energy conservation thing where they convinced Americans that it was our fault that and the pollution caused by electricity generation was bc we used our lights too much and we need to turn our lights off at certain times of the day.

If we want to talk about actual problems with AI let's talk about things like ShellGPT and flock cameras, and ICE's AI facial recognition tool. Not people getting their work done faster so they can enjoy life.

@KimSJ @Crell all I'm saying is. The problems in the article are the result of capitalism, not AI as a tool. That's all man.

@KimSJ @Crell idk I mean this article didnt really present anything new. Just kind of whining about peoples tech jobs and then using the environmental talking point to "prove" AI bad. AI is not bad. It is being misused heavily I will agree. But the tool itself isn't bad. People said the same thing about the internet. Growing up people told me how inaccurate Wikipedia was but now all the sudden it is way better than AI. Both still able to have incorrect info. But AI bad. Sure yeah.

@Crell you're also ignoring my point. I see the power usage of the data centers and I agree they are bad but who is building them and why are they allowed to build more and more? I'm saying the only time we care about the environment is when it comes to AI. The planet has been dying for YEARS and this is the only time we care about it? I am asking why is it the fault of the tool that is abused for the purposes of facilitating capitalism and not the fault of capitalism itself.

@Crell I see the power usage. I'm wondering why anyone only cares about the environment when it comes to AI and not with coal, oil, electricity, Netflix, meta, tiktok, lithium batteries, meat etc. It feels like a talking point. If we care about the environment let's fix the environment and not place blame on scary tool. Right now companies can just buy anything they want and do anything they want. How is that AIs fault?

@Crell copyright infringement is another capitalism thing. Also there are so many other industries that shouldn't be consuming the resources they do but everyone is very loud about scary new tool.

@Crell I would rather spend time debugging mostly working code than reading nerds argue on stackoverflow for hours only to find the solution that worked for everyone is deprecated on my version. No part of that experience is fun or feels rewarding. And not being able to figure something out has made me quit on projects that I can bridge that gap between now.

@Crell kinda sounds like your problem is with capitalism and less with the AI tool. Also why does the code that AI puts out have to be committed without user intervention. I sense an implication that nobody reviews this code. Developers can still develop all they want and still have it help them. Need a flask server? Need a docs page? Nobody should be shipping code written by an AI tool unless it's been reviewed first. If devs are shipping shitty code it's still their fault, not the AI tool's
