    Minimizing the harm means not using it. AI output doesn’t come out of nothing. It’s generated at significant ecological cost.

      They were going to use it anyway. The notion that your boycott will accomplish anything when the tool is this unbelievably useful is insane, fight this at the regulatory level, furthermore the ecological impact is quite minor if you use Chinese ai due to the solar farms.

        “It’s already done so might as well accept it” is the most fascist coded braindead bullshit I’ve ever heard about this whole AI thing since it started. Congratulations. Also blocked.
