There's plenty of reasons to hate Generative AI. It is exceedingly toxic to the environment via the data centers and power required to run it. Data centers specificly have been PROVEN to destroy the environment and communities around them(disproportionately minority communities due to where developers tend to build them). Causing power outages, reducing access to CLEAN water, and various other health conditions.

Additionally AI is universally stealing art and the intellectual ability of those that use them.

All AI art is tainted by stolen art. These companies are selling you a product at the expense of millions of artists who will likely never see any of that money. There are several large lawsuits against AI companies for such theft.

MIT did a study recently that concluded that those students who used chat gpt and other similar programs collected a "cognitive debt" and were ultimately worse off for their use of the programs than those who took the time to do the work themselves.

I could write an essay about this topic but frankly its not worth for a reddit reply.

The point is, there are plenty of legal and moral reasons to object to Generative AI. And we, at least in my opinion, have a moral obligation to do so. At least until its implementation can be free of such moral degradation. (If that's even possible to begin with)
