Data centers needed for AI are driving up electricity costs to surrounding residents, they use ungodly amounts of water to cool the systems and dump that now hot water back into the ecosystem, causing ecosystem collapse or into the municipal wastewater process, overloading treatment plants, children are using it to do their homework, potentially harming their ability to critically read and write (this is still being studied, and most evidence is anecdotal or still in review).
You’re absolutely correct. This comment contains multiple examples of implementation critiques, which weren’t easy to spot. I’m reformulating my response in light of this new information.
I think people hate AI because:
I could go on and on.
You forgot the environment and the energy prices.
And hastening Dead Internet.
Though that one was already in the works. But Ai is certainly fast tracking it.
These are implementation critiques
Your entire argument is nothing but an implementation critique.
Exactly

Wowo interesting, describe to me how a closed loop cooling tower works.
This is what people know as “AI” right now (because it’s being shoved down their throats that way)
Yes, but the sad thing is if it weren’t implemented as a resource for all it wouldn’t carry the same anti weight.

Fuck, there goes my usage.
Additionally, many complaints center on environmental concerns that are also implementation issues. Relatively few people are content creators.
