@Tutanota@mastodon.social I don't want to support any AI use in any way because of the ethical issues. Models have been trained on stolen data (IP), because of the new data centers, energy costs for everyday people are skyrocketing, water use has increased off the charts, etc. And while the rest of us "normal" people suffer, the rich just keep getting richer off of something that is literally making no money. I just feel like a broken record when I say all of this. And it seems that projects just don't care and it's hugely frustrating and infuriating. The planet is already burning and using AI like this is just making that worse. I'm sorry, but I just can't support any of this. I don't make a lot of money and have to be choosy what I support, and supporting AI, for me, is not going to happen. Projects were doing great before AI came along. I just don't understand why they all feel the need to use AI.

@Tutanota@mastodon.social @chadmccullough@mastodon.bsd.cafe I'm not creating a Reddit account just to comment there on this one issue. But I'm with Chad on this. I will vote with my dollar.
