You’re free to hate GenAI all you like as far as I’m concerned. Just be honest about your reasons, and don’t pretend it’s about the environment if you don’t care enough to even look at the numbers.
Sure, but surely the data centers illegally running gas turbines in Memphis and Vineland, New Jersey are causing problems that wouldn’t exist without the current hype cycle.
Do you think that’s a reasonable reason to hate gen AI?
There are absolutely issues around the rollout of AI. I haven’t seen anyone disagree with that. That’s just not a good argument for being opposed to the technology. That might be a reasonable reason to hate xAI or Microsoft (and I do!). It’s definitely a reasonable reason to have concerns about how we’re doing this. You should be concerned.
It’s not a reasonable reason to hate the technology itself.
What about those of us who don’t eat meat or fly on a plane ever? Are we allowed to hate GenAI?

Or with moderately competent community involvement and regulation. Fortunately we’re waking those up… kinda…
