The moral high ground?
Bullshit. Absolute bullshit. You're so worried about the environment but you don't have a problem soaking up electricity wasting time online? What about the strip mines required for all the rare earths in your consumer electronics? What about the data centers required so you can play video games? Did you protest Nintendo getting into online gaming?
Reminds me of those hipsters protesting a lithium mine with iPhones in their hands.
And you're worried about jobs? Do you protest robotics taking jobs away from blue collar workers? Do you boycott the automotive industry or other industries that have steadily replaced people with robotics? Why don't I ever see writers, artists, or tech people talking about that? Oh, I know--because they didn't give a fuck until it affected them.
Remember what I said before when you complained about AI image generation? "Learn to code". That's what people online told factory workers when they were losing their jobs by the thousands. They were told to adapt. So, there you go.
I don't give a damn if you like AI or not but no one respects a fanatic who is also a hypocrite.
