How about both. One’s the cause, the other’s the symptom. Both are bad. But you, personally, can stop using the stuff that’d destroying the environment right now, while fixing capitalism is going to take a lot longer, and a lot more people.
No, I hate how easy AI makes it for people to use it wrong. Guns are similar in that more guns = more gun violence, then though people argue that “guns don’t kill people” it’s still something that needs to be considered and can’t be separated from the plain concept of a gun as a “tool”. Considering AI is used wrong so frequently and creates massive amounts of problems, like spreading false information in amounts that make it difficult to combat, it’s fair to lump all of that with AI.
Additionally, right now most people don’t know how to run an AI locally, so it’s fair to assume that any AI you come across was generated by big privatized AI. Also, even if you’re running it locally, the models were still created by these big corporations that drain local resources and use massive amounts of energy to create them.
So, all the issues you agree are a problem with AI are still far too connected with AI that it’s not something you should consider separately from just AI as a tool.
Why AI meme?
No hate to AI or image generation, they have their purposes, but why AI meme?
This is a 2 minute sketch, TBH I might be able to make this by hand faster than any of my locally deployed AI models.

Dont say its a skill thing, I’ve seen literal stick figure drawings on lined paper get upvoted to frontpage here on Lemmy.
Yes ai hate
It’s fine. It’s just for fun & hasn’t put anyone out of work. Try to relax.
Fire up the AI, guys. @Monstrosity@lemm.ee said it’s fine if it’s “just for fun”
Uh oh, here come the pitchforks!
You guys have a problem with Capitalism, not AI.

I get it. I almost exclusively run llms locally on my laptop or phone, so my energy consumption is no more than gamers’.
Privatized AI is the issue, they’ll suck up resources forever if there’s a profit motive & try to prevent local llm usage at all costs.
AI Isn’t without its ethical issues or dangers, but I’ve noticed most people really seem to hate how it’s used to abuse & exploit in our system.
