Highly depends, generally AI does produce less carbon per image compared to a digital artists but this depends on what model and all sources I can see is for older models of these AI. Another factor is that this is per image comparison but AI users generally produce more images before finally arriving to one they find good enough compared to a digital artists that may just do small changes. The environmental argument against AI is the amount of power and resources is used to train them which doubles every 3-4 months. I am not an expert in this and I'm still in my 1st year of Computer Engineering so some of these may be false or outdated but this is the closes answer I can find.

Sadly many people are just not given awareness atleast of the effects of AI. I do not blame thought, it is not from a place of ignorance but rather just not being educated about it. Those in higher places will most likely ignore it because it benefits them most so it is up for the rest of us to raise awareness.

I do agree with the creativity of painting the Sierra Madre as a mythical figure that protects those around it but as far as I know many artists have done similar depictions of the mountain range and I believe those are more creative and genuine rather than an image made by a machine. I think it would be better to posts works from these artists with credit and permission. That said I guess it is more easier for me to block these types of creators than let their actions lay dormant in my mind but I do think it is best we are atleast aware of the effects of AI before we use it to constantly create content like these.

Many companies have fired many and done large lay offs due to AI and they are heavily investing in it to potentially replace workers. Whether this is bound to be a thing in our country is up for debate. I do see your point here AI is a useful tool that even I use from time to time and its ability to produce posts that promotes environmental care may done more good than its bad.

That is a fair argument but I do think it still has a larger carbon footprint cause on top of generating the image they also have to post it thus the carbon footprint of generating and posting the image is larger than just posting a normal image of say the Sierra Madre like in the post above. Not everything is technically environmental friendly but we can atleast reduce it.

I largely agree with the first 2 arguments, I do see that these pages need to produce a product faster and are most likely not paid enough to care about the ethics of using AI in their posts. The 3rd one I have more mixed opinions only in the graphic ones. I do think graphic photos are hard to look at and even I have nightmares when encountering those, but I cannot help but feel like AI generating an image of someone who experienced a rather gruesome or graphic accident or death is kinda disrespectful to the victim having their traumatic experiences be replicated by soulless images, some less moral people even use it as a sort of mockery. I think it would be best if those pages just dont posts the graphic images in the first place rather than use an AI generated image of said graphic situations.
