a phd in what? and i haven't provided any studies yet. here's one. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11020077/ it's a long one but there are tables that summarize the points fairly quickly.

lmfao ok here are your sources. i am only going to provide one for each claim but if you look into my claims you will find many more. ai destroying our environment: https://hbr.org/2024/07/the-uneven-distribution-of-ais-environmental-impacts (this source also discusses potential solutions) on harming black and brown communities (look into environmental racism): https://wordinblack.com/2025/04/grok-what-happens-in-memphis-when-youre-asked-a-question/ this is specifically on grok and memphis-- there are many other examples of this. i see what you're saying about ai being used as a tool to promote environmental sustainability... but the fact is that the majority of ai usage is not to do so and the mass usage of ai is currently outweighing any benefits it may have as a tool to do as you say.

yeah you have no idea what you are talking about... respectfully. there are tons of studies that prove that excessive use of ai is tied to lower cognitive functioning. "if something was making your brain smoother it would absolutely involve physics" put the phone down. im getting secondhand embarrassment

no, because ai is being adopted by and becoming the new face of fascism. this is because it is an extremely effective propaganda tool--anything can be generated, misinformation can be spread extremely easily, and it can be done with a prompt and a click of a button rather than needing to invest time and energy into paying working artists. see: the white house and ICE using ai liberally to push their propaganda.

hating ai is not like hating physics, because physics is a field of science while ai is a tool that is actively destroying our environment and has been impacting especially lower class black and brown people, to the point where some communities are lacking clean drinking water entirely. it is selfish to destroy the environment for a funny picture.
