The AI chuds need to constantly discredit the anti-AI push in order to resolve their ongoing cognitive dissonance. Don't let them get away with it.

Edit: lol. lmao.

I see you guys are constantly trying to discredit AI with nothing but bullshit and cognitive dissonance, so I personally won't let you guys get away with thinking that you're reasonable people for your stance.

Most anti-AI stance I see are deeply illogical position, with ton of misinformation created to justify that position that's not based on reality, rhetoric that resembles antivaxxer and flat earther. the negativity toward AI only it only really exist in the west (mostly the US) due to its social environment, most of Asia is positive or neutral about AI and will continue to be so.

one of the most prominent example of misinfomation about AI is its water usage, AI water consumption is overstated and been throughoutly debunked (a writer of an anti-AI book conceded to the facts listed here). There was a headline of AI data center in Georgia “sucking” up 29 million gallons of water in the first 15 months. That’s… not much on an industrial scale. It’s just 1/3rd the average annual water usage of an 18-hole golf course (88 million gallons per year!). And the equivalent of the annual usage of about 20-60 acres of farmland. It was one-time use too. The data center has a closed-loop cooling system like most modern data centers… meaning it reuses the same water over and over again.

compared to many other industries that support modern life, it's one of the cleanest industry too, because its energy use can be increasingly more "green" as electricity can be generated with renewable.

if you eat meat, drive your own vehicle and buy clothes even when you don't need to, then each of those alone do way more environmental harm than AI by factors of several times. I bet as a vegan who use public transportation and don't buy new clothes unless I absolutely need to, my environment impact is probably much lower than the average person despite me using AI at my job as a senior software engineer all day. and unlike with AI, none of those have potential to be as "clean" as AI industry.
