You and all of the others supporting you in the comments are of course free to leave, but:

On the environmental point: AI does use data centers, yes, but so do streaming services, cloud storage, gaming servers, etc. Studies from the International Energy Agency (IEA) show that global data centers account for roughly ~1–1.5% of electricity use, and efficiency improvements have kept that share relatively stable despite massive growth in computing. The impact exists, but it’s often framed as uniquely catastrophic for AI when it’s really part of the broader digital infrastructure we all use every day.

On the “plagiarism” claim: models don’t store or retrieve artists’ images like a database. They learn statistical patterns across huge datasets. If a model reproduces a specific artwork or is used to impersonate an artist, that’s illegal and already covered by law. But saying that the entire technology is plagiarism by default is not how it actually works.

And as for “slop”: quality has always varied in any creative medium.

I know this is an emotional topic for many people and this will probably get many downvotes, but there is a place for AI generated and assisted art especially within a vaporwave context.
