First question: like many things they can be made sustainable and ethical when done right, and some are made more ethically than others.
Second question: AIs aren’t just LLMs and stable diffusion, though those too have legitimate uses. AI and ML includes data mining algorithms used to process medical and scientific data for all kinds of purposes including developing new treatments and tests for things like cancer, or for keeping track of our ecosystem and what effects human activities are having on it.
Third question: honestly it depends. A lot of AI research is actually done by universities for benevolent reasons. Other people are just trying to make a quick buck and don’t care about the consequences. Some uses are actively evil.
You can’t paint an entire field of research as if it’s one thing or only has one single application. If you read all this and still think AI is universally bad then you either should stop voting, forming political opinions and having any influence on research, or you should kill yourself. Your choice.
You made three nice points here. It completely derailed the comment to have that bit in the second to last sentence. Are you open to editing that out so your valid arguments can shine through?
If you can’t separate a good point from an inflammatory message that’s your problem.
I am being this inflammatory for a specific reason. The completely unnuanced anti-AI crowd, most of which don’t even understand what AI is, need to be told off. They are uninformed people having opinions. It’s fine to be uninformed, and it’s fine to have opinions, doing both together though is not recommended. It’s definitely not okay to be uninformed about something but confidently state your opinion anyway.
I might tone it down slightly but honestly these arguments I am done with. Both the AI hype crowds and the anti-AI crowds are almost equally bad and as someone who actually works in this area I am fucking sick of it.
100% agree. A bunch of utter morons shouting bollocks really loud. Wish they’re shut the fuck up and let the rest of us get on with doing something useful instead of calling them on their bullshit!
Yeah I feel you. I even toned down my comment slightly, and it still got removed. Might honestly be time to block this community. Apparently I can’t even say suck my cock anymore to people who are being vocal idiots.
Okay this is fucking bullshit.

Hey.
Be civil or I’ll ban your ass, faster than stable diffusion can draw dick nipples.
Edit your comment or I’ll remove it.
Thanks

I toned it down and it still got removed. Honestly I am done with tone policing like this.
