    Farming, fishing, and electricity inherently degrade our planet far more than AI.

    They’re also necessary for existence (at least the first two, but when it comes to medical applications, really electricity too).

    AI slop? Nope.

      re: your 1st point: deliberately disingenuous due to scale and time. re: your 2nd point: No

        I promise we won’t need shitty images of babies driving a boat with shrimp Jesus, no matter how much time passes.

      Nope, we all lived just fine without farming and fishing. Then we lived just fine without industrial farming and fishing. We lived most of human existence without either, and certainly without modern medicine.

      You just like those things and you don’t like AI.

      Then you dress all AI applications down to “AI slop”. Which if you want to move the goalposts to “AI slop”, we can agree that it’s about as necessary as high fructose corn syrup and streaming entertainment. Do you fuss on those as hard as frivolous AI usage?

          You stated that fishing and farming are necessary for our existence. That is obviously incorrect. Farming has obvious benefits over foraging, but is definitely not essential. Fishing: eating dead bodies is a choice, it is far from essential.

              You did respond.

              Being homeschooled in a cult has limited your anthropological and historical knowledge to an absurdly low level, to the point that I am surprised you are aware of electricity at all.
