People who like AI don’t care with this debate. These anti-ai comments are barking at the moon.
I really want to link this article here as a counterpoint - why “AI is just a tool” as a stance doesn’t quite cut it as far as well-founded opinions go: https://www.frank.computer/blog/2025/05/just-a-tool.html
i think most people here conflate ai with data centers. datat centers exist with out ai and you can use ai without data centers. local ai fills a lot of needs and in the next two years there will be more home hardware to run it. nvidia just announced a new consumer chip , coming out later this year, to run models at home.
in my eyes, the bubble has always been paying a company to use their ai. sure it has places for science and medicine but most of us dont use it for that.
so AI is a tool, how its used or implemented is the problem.

Sure it does, Jensen
I saw this counterpoint on Mastodon and I think it sums up things rather well: https://hachyderm.io/@chris_e_simpson/116925250364867462
Child labour is such an excellent comparison to use against the “if it is effective why not use it” argument.
comparing LLMs to child labor is summing it up well?

This has got to be the worst argument I’ve ever seen.
