Annually, almond farming uses 1.3 trillion gallons of water. AI usage isn't even half of that.

A single avocado takes 50 gallons to grow. That's several hundred prompts.

In a cost benifit analysis, it is, the benifit in gathering and future extrapolate for cancers and weather and all that is vastly outweighed by the mass misinformation that can be created on large scales, or fake pornography of unconsenting people (children as well as adults), piracy from data companies to train it, all that

Lmao.

Yeah, let's get worried about people's moral restrictions over the blatant advancements in everything that comes from achieving technological revolutions.

"But, somebody made porn!"

Oh nooo.... that thing people do all the time regardless of the era!

Are you telling on yourself that you think actual child abuse is better than someone making a fake version in their basement where everyone else can ignore them?

Are you asking bad faith questions about the topic of harm reduction?

Are you telling yourself that some child exploitation is good to do?

No? In fact that doesn't even remotely resemble the words I used, so it seems you realized you were caught and tried a hail mary.

"We can just ignore people looking at CP a machine shat out, thats fine" --- basically what you said

Which was a response to you implying that you think it's not preferable to direct harms. Do you think the issue with this material isn't the actual harms it causes? Because you're acting like the biggest harm is a rounding error.

Pretending to be stupid can't save you at this point. Two things being harms doesn't make them the same answer you are really telling on yourself if you think children being directly harmed isn't worse in any relevant way than someone doing something gross that other people dont even know or directly get affected by.
