      The thing that is actively destroying our planet in the pursuit of profits? That only exists through the theft and destruction of the creative works of others? Which is responsible for atrophying the critical thinking skills of the population? Yeah. Yeah I’d say it’s bad.

        actively destroying our planet

        Hey, my little GTX 3070ti is only passively destroying the planet.

        That only exists through the theft and destruction of the creative works of others?

        No, I use models trained on public domain and open source works. https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm

        Which is responsible for atrophying the critical thinking skills of the population?

        I’ve been learning so much about microelectronics, soldering, voltage, current, components, programming, libraries, that I never would have been able to learn before, because I need to be able to ask a million tiny stupid questions, because I’m just that autistic. Before, I’d need to wait a few hours for someone on Stack Overflow to tell me it’s already been asked, and then link to the wrong answer.

        There’s a reason you’ve been trained to knee-jerk hate AI, who benefits?

          You can’t justify the whole of the AI and its industry and how it’s come about with “well this one model does this ethically” while ignoring the foundation it was built on.

          You gonna tell me next that, “you can’t make an omelet without breaking a few eggs?”

          Sure, your little home server may not be killing the planet on the scale of commercial data centers, but participating in the use of AI is aiding in its propagation.

          Furthermore, you may say that it’s helping you learn x, y, z but it’s been shown that it does impede your critical thinking over time. Part of learning is doing research on your own. You talk about learning from AI, but there’s a reason schools make you find the answers yourselves and don’t hand you the solution directly.
