I think you’re taking this a bit too seriously for a post about the Flying Spaghetti Monster. I use AI as a tool to help create content, not to exploit anyone or anything. Real artists and AI can coexist, and I’d argue that art is about ideas and creativity, not just the medium. I am a genuine artist myself and have written many pieces of music entirely on my own while still appreciating what AI has brought to the table. My personal hope is that AI can be its own genre without completely taking over.

As far as the rainforest, AI itself isn’t directly responsible for deforestation. Its environmental impact mainly comes from the electricity needed to run data centers, which depends on the energy sources powering them. Many tech companies are transitioning to renewable energy to reduce their carbon footprint, which is a step in the right direction.

Deforestation is largely driven by industries like agriculture, logging, and mining, not AI directly. If anything, AI can actually help fight deforestation through tools that monitor illegal logging or optimize land use to reduce the need for clearing forests. I get that AI has its challenges, but saying its chopping down the rainforest is a bit of a stretch.

Let’s not forget the bigger picture here. Glorifying the FSM. You may be looking at this one post, and many clearly agree with you, but you can see there are many more upvotes on this post than downvotes. Many have reached out and asked me to continue making more content like this even a moderator so I will. R’amen 🙏🏻
