If that hammer also had massive environmental impacts and hammers were pushed into every aspect of your life while also stealing massive amounts of copyrighted data, sure. It's very useful for problems that can be easily verified, but the only reason it's good at those is from the massive amount of stolen data.

All those things you said are vague and nebulous and every day people are not gonna understand that message and will just think you’re hysterical or a conspiracy guy. The way the message is put forwards is super important

If an everyday person asked me why I don't like ai I would show them those reasons in more depth, but on lemmy most people have seen the articles about ai water use and the light/noise/water pollution of data centers.

Arguably, hammers also have a massive impact on the environment. They are also part of everyday life. Building you live in? Built using a hammer. New sidewalk? Old one came out with an automatic hammer. Car? Bet there was a type of hammer used during assembly. You can't escape the hammer. Stop running. Accept your inner hammer. Embrace the hammer, become the hammer. Hammer on.
