    No I think it’s fair to be mad at AI companies, and the harm they cause. That anger has to be attributed towards the actual problem though, it needs to be based on the fact. Not directed at people who use AI, who probably would use the more efficient open models if they knew about them.

      Why? Why shouldn’t I be angry at the people who are also complicit? They’re also part of the problem. The people who use AI are contributing to most of the issues I and you listed. What part of their actions make them innocent in this?

        Are they though? Are people who use AI horde or their own GPUs “complicit” in “most of the issues”? If people most people used their own GPUs how many of these issues would really remain without the capitalist aspect (including it being shoved into every website by venture capitalists to support their ponzi scheme so they don’t crash and burn)?

          I don’t care about 1% of the users. The only time I’ll have a problem with them is when they share their shitty AI art, shitty text, or in this case shitty opinions on AI. If that hurts your feelings then you’re going to have to learn to live with it or ignore it. I don’t care which. You keep switching who you’re defending. In one comment it’s the poor ignorant users who haven’t heard of open source alternatives, and then when I reply to that it changes to people who are already using those alternatives.
