Lol I've never seen such a "whataboutism" used to justify AI

[–] r1veRRR@feddit.org 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Can you point to the justifying? If your argument is "AI bad because water usage", then you have to actually demonstrate it's a problem, and that you've always cared about water usage.

In the post they very EXPLICITLY state that there are many real issues with AI, just that water is the worst of them.

Do you know how psy-op for a movement works? Simple, you start focussing the movement on obviously false or irrelevant topics. That way, nothing useful gets accomplished, and the movement looks like a joke to anyone with a brain.

Are you a secret pro AI agent?

Two things can be true at once. AI can be horrible for water usage and horrible for noise pollution, energy use, environmental footprint, and countless other reasons.

Notably, this response seems like it came from a bot.
