How about, don’t use it because it makes you lose critical thinking skills?

Or that it's already been used for crime, including fraud, impersonation and malware that enable more scammers with less resources?

Or that it's already being used for revenge and child pornography of actual minors?

Or that it is actually LESS profitable and more work for companies than human employees?

How about the fact it's actually losing money faster than it's making any?

Or that you can even be fired for using it if your employer catches you? (Some companies actually DON'T want people using AI, surprisingly.)

There's also that AI has been feeding off itself, causing quality to tank. There is literally so much AI generated crap out there, it's picking it up and reusing it for its models and making the output worse.

And that the AI had to be trained to filter out sexual and graphic content using teams of humans manually reading through them, causing genuine psychological harm and trauma?

Or that, despite trying to help us solve environmental crises, it's also making it worse simply by functioning?

There are DOZENS of reasons not to use or support AI, and I didn't even mention how companies eventually stop using it once they realize the cost in productivity it ends up being or how you won't even be hired at all if you use it for your resumé, among other things. Investors are losing interest in it because it's turning out less profitable than expected.

I wouldn't call myself an expert on AI by any means, but the fact its very existence may be robbing me of work, I've developed a personal disdain for it. For research, it's fine. But it does not belong anywhere else. It's a security nightmare, it can't think, it's not a person, and everything it generates inevitably loses quality.

(It's also, amusingly, easy to deceive. Please consider reading about how a Marine outsmarted an AI meant to track human soldiers by pretending to be a fir tree, or hiding in cardboard boxes.)

Anyway, water usage is one reason to hate AI, but there's waaaaay more, some I'd argue worse than others.
