No it’s the people too. When it’s in every household it’s just as harmful as when giant corporations use it, if you actually pay attention and set aside time to get work done you can do your own notes and assignments

Damn, a lot of AI shills here. You may not care for the ethics and problems they cause, but many of us do. Be better.

You’re broken inside if you think 99% of us are using AI. It’s proven by Microsoft’s own scientific studies to turn people stupid inside of six weeks. I would never.

i would love to see your source for usage rates

why are you making up numbers, can’t you ask your computer to do that?

i feel like we as a society have to come to terms with the fact ai is not going anywhere but we should yell and demand change from the companies for better ways of it without it harming our environment. i personally love using it for understanding things like math cause it can help me little by little understand and in my own pace without someone hounding at me or not understanding my problems. we have to learn to use it for the better and with better environmental solutions

It rlly just has to do with who you surround yourself with. Sounds like you surround yourself with 99% idiots

No bs. My sophomore year my instructor told us she gets her questions from chat gpt and suggests we use it to generate practice questions. She teaches multiple classes in my program soooo I’m sure she’s told every class the same exact thing.

Corporations do have impact but it’s also individual people using ChatGPT generating 1000s if not millions of prompts per day fueling it. You even said “99%” of people are using AI, even as a hyperbole, how can you think such a large scale of people use it and yet it has no impact? This whole post is just trying to justify and cope w/ your own guilt. “It’s ok because everyone does it but also even though everyone use it we actually have no impact because it’s all corporations fault!”

Yall are such weirdos lmao AI sucks and it’s not true at all that “99% of people use it.” Blown away that people willingly admit to being lazy and killing the economy and environment at the same time.

It’s also recently started to come out that a lot of the “massive data centers” could actually be significantly smaller and still cover the amount of ai usage by the population. The government is sub-contracting out a majority of the space in them so even if (just hypothetical numbers here) open ai has a 3000 acre data center only 300 acres are actually housing open ai data servers the other 2700 are being utilized by the gov. But all the water and resource waste is being placed on us via ai

No one is saying you can’t pass classes and get work done without ai. However, as someone that did 3 years of college with out and 1 with the availability of chat gpt. Professors became less inclined to actually help students once they found out there was a way for students to get answers without bothering them.

If your professors aren’t even trying to help anyone they should be reported then. Nobody’s forcing you to use AI, it’s completely optional and if we want anything to change we have to stop using it

With all due respect do you go to the university of unicorns and rainbows? I could report that I saw a tenured professor conducting a human sacrifice and would get told that what faculty does during their free time is not the school’s business or mine. Nobody’s forcing anyone to use ai but most people are not privileged enough to risk failing a class or losing a scholarship on the principle of not using ai.

Nah my school actually sucks pretty bad. But if you make enough of a stink about AI people listen and stop shoving it down your throat. My GPA is low because I don’t have enough time to complete all my assignments but I’d rather that happen than go as low as using AI for my homework

I said my actual numbers were just hypothetical but a quick google search will show how the government uses the private sector to build their own personal ai and data servers and contracts out preexisting ones. There’s been a lot of speculation that the government is behind just as much of the large jump in data center construction as the private companies.

Using it for the better means not using it at all, unless you’re involved in research organizations and are using AI for those specific and highly optimized applications.. I’m not sure what kinds of environmental solutions you think are going to happen but we’re relying on fossil fuels and freshwater for AI and that’s definitely not going to be changing under the current administration

I’m not trying to be rude but I don’t think a lot of people who keep defending AI really understand what it takes to power data centers, along with that there’s the social and intellectual deterioration that’s been proven to happen with long term AI use. There would have to be MAJOR changes to environmental policies and the way American society is structured in order to make AI even slightly sustainable

And it’s pretty much just held up by investors who are growing tired of not getting the returns they thought they would. And it’s lead to numerous suicides, mis/disinformation, is fucking up people’s water supplies, the list goes on. It’s being shoved into everything where it isn’t wanted. 🫩

Sucks to be you, learning to think critically is a prerequisite skill for responsible use of AI, colleges and high schools jump to AI too early. If it’s ever going to be useful, it’s only in the last mile.

OK well, stop doing that, first of all. Secondly, AI is ‘popular’ because the Epstein class and middle managers think they can replace all our jobs with machines and it will be cheaper. They require that their employees at least ‘try’ to use it and it’s not going well.

I would argue that saying that less than 50% of people that are in the workforce or in college use ai is even more extraordinary. Maybe less than 50% of all people world wide including those with limited internet access and the elderly but the non-retired us population, absolutely not.

At any rate, the “intelligence” of AI, isn’t in the LLM. It’s just a reflection of our Intelligence, spread out over statistical averages. Spend any length of time talking to it about a subject you’re already familiar with and you’ll find it’s no better than talking with an idiot.

Tell that to the people (predominantly black communities) facing water scarcity and poor air quality due to these data centers. You think they’re gonna be like “oh now that I know the data centers are smaller than I thought I can breathe well again and all my water is back!”. The size doesn’t matter when the impact is the same

They don’t even care. One of the lowest of the low types of people imo. Don’t think of the environmental effects, the economic effects, the negative impacts on people’s quality of life/health, none of it. As long as they can spare the hour it’d take them to do an assignment by using ChatGPT and instead use that time to scroll tiktok laughing at more disgusting AI generated content. It’s heinous

i’m not endorsing ai but yeah the last sentence is true. many people do not have the time or mental bandwidth to do everything without help. it’s a privilege to be able to take the moral high ground on some things. i don’t support using it for everything but you don’t know everyone’s situation

Pleaseeeee read what I wrote. Never said they were smaller than we thought. I said that the actual amount of real estate being used within the data center by the private sector is significantly smaller than the actual data center.

There’s nothing wrong with dropping out of college and pursuing a different career path if college is too intense for you. Personally I’ve been struggling really hard in college due to my mental conditions, but that doesn’t mean I have to use AI. I’ve had to sacrifice a lot of my free time to do my own work, but in the end it’s worth it to me. I know others who are taking fewer classes at a time so they can dedicate more time to learning in them-

- I know that scholarships and financial aid are a concern for people when they think about taking fewer credits, but if you look more closely at all the details, you might be surprised and find a way to lighten your course load without sacrificing your ability to stay enrolled (I did that this past year, I originally didn’t think it was possible) Sorry for the long response I just really want to encourage people to try quitting AI

Friend, the point of college is learning to _do the work_. If you can’t do the work, don’t be in college. There’s no moral high ground to take, the person being failed the most through the use of AI is always us, whether it’s our use or our professors’.

If you don’t have the time and mental bandwidth to be in college you should not be in college straight up. I’m saying this as a person who had to take several years off of college for that very reason. Get your degree later if you don’t have time but using AI makes your degree worthless, you dumber, and the environment worse.
