Do you really need to have a list of why people are sick of LLM and Ai slop?

Ai is literally making people dumber:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/lee_2025_ai_critical_thinking_survey.pdf

https://www.theregister.com/2025/06/18/is_ai_changing_our_brains/

They are a massive privacy risk:

https://theconversation.com/ai-tools-collect-and-store-data-about-you-from-all-your-devices-heres-how-to-be-aware-of-what-youre-revealing-251693

Are being used to push fascist ideologies into every aspect of the internet:

https://newsocialist.org.uk/transmissions/ai-the-new-aesthetics-of-fascism/

And they are a massive environmental disaster:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/cindygordon/2024/02/25/ai-is-accelerating-the-loss-of-our-scarcest-natural-resource-water/

Stop being a corporate apologist and stop wreaking the environment with this shit technology.

Edit: thank you to every Ai apologist outing themselves in the comments. Thank you for making blocking you easy.

If you ever take a flight for holiday, or even drive long distance and cry about AI being bad for the environment then you're a hypocrite.

Same goes for if you eat beef, or having a really powerful gaming rig that you use a lot.

There are plenty of valid reasons AI is bad, but the argument for the environment seems weak, and most people using it are probably hypocrites. It's barely a drop in the bucket compared to other things

[–] BroBot9000@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Ahh so are you going to acknowledge the privacy invasion and brain rotting cause by Ai or are you just going to focus on dismissing the environmental concerns? Cause I linked more than just the environmental impacts.

[–] Draces@lemmy.world -1 points 2 weeks ago

Uh dismissing that concern seems like valid point? Do people have to comprehensively discredit the whole list to reply?

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Texas has just asked residents to take less showers while datacenters made specifically for LLM training continue operating.

This is more like feeling bad for not using a paper straw while local factory dumps all their oil change into the community river.

[–] AnonomousWolf@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Maybe they should cut down on Beef first, it uses exponentially more water than AI and CO2

  • 1 kg Beef = 60kg CO2 - source
  • 1000km Return flight = 314kg CO2 - source
  • 1 Bitcoin transaction = 645kg of CO2 - source
  • 1000 AI prompts = 3kg of CO2 - source
[–] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

your source about beef relies on poore-nemecek 2018, a paper with dubious methodology

[–] Randomgal@lemmy.ca -1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You're getting downvoted for speaking the truth to an echo chamber my guy.

[–] Barrymore@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

But he isn't speaking the truth. AI itself is a massive strain on the environment, without any true benefit. You are being fed hype and lies by con men. Data centers being built to supply AIs are using water and electricity at alarming rates, taking away the resources from actual people living nearby, and raising the cost of those utilities at the same time.

[–] Sl00k@programming.dev 0 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

This is valid to all data centers serving all websites. Your take is a criticism of unregulated capitalism, not AI.

Beef farming is a far far far more impactful discussion, yet here we are.

Lol I didn't know that the anarchists over at lemmy.dbzer0.com are being corporate apologists. /sarcasm

[–] oatscoop@midwest.social 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Weird ... It looks like there's nothing stopping me from signing up for an account on dbzer0 even though I'm not actually an anarchist.

We don't need a collection of random 'AI bad' articles because your entire premise is flawed.

In general, people are not 'sick of LLM and Ai slop'. Real people, who are not chronically online, have fairly positive views of AI and public sentiment about AI is actually becoming more positive over time.

Here is Stanford's report on the public opinion regarding AI (https://hai.stanford.edu/ai-index/2024-ai-index-report/public-opinion).

Stop being a corporate apologist and stop wreaking the environment with this shit technology.

My dude, it sounds like you need to go out into the environment a bit more.

Ai is literally making people dumber:

And books destroyed everyone's memory. People used to have fantastic memories.

They are a massive privacy risk:

No different than the rest of cloud tech. Run your AI local like your other self hosting.

Are being used to push fascist ideologies into every aspect of the internet:

Hitler used radio to push fascism into every home. It's not the medium, it's the message.

And they are a massive environmental disaster:

AI uses a GPU just like gaming uses a GPU. Building a new AI model uses the same energy that Rockstar spent developing GTA5. But it's easier to point at a centralized data center polluting the environment than thousands of game developers spread across multiple offices creating even more pollution.

Stop being a corporate apologist

Run your own AI! Complaining about "corporate AI" is like complaining about corporate email. Host it yourself.

With the number of times that refrain is regurgitated here ad nauseum, need is an odd way to put it. Sick of it might fit sentiments better. Done with this & not giving a shit is another.

It Is true thou, ai bad

[–] SugarCatDestroyer@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

It feels like the author of the post thinks superficially and doesn’t delve into the essence. Although, considering that killing children can also be funny, I don't even know what to laugh at and what to cry about. It's hard to understand someone else's humor sometimes.

[–] Barrymore@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Lots of pro AI astroturfing and whataboutisms in these comments... 🤢

[–] chunes@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Only because most of the people here don't have the faintest idea what AI is or how it works.

The problem isn't AI. The problem is Capitalism.

The problem is always Capitalism.

AI, Climate Change, rising fascism, all our problems are because of capitalism.

[–] Ofiuco@piefed.ca 0 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Can't delete this old-ass comment because the fediverse is so free it forces me not to delete it.
Anyway, don't care, still think the root of the problem are humans, and we will ruin whatever system is in place.
Even if lemmy users want to blindly believe switching from capitalism will be the fix to every single problem.

Rather, our problem is that we live in a world where the strongest will survive, and the strongest does not mean the smart... So alas we will always be in complete shit until we disappear.

[–] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That's a pathetic, defeatist world view. Yeah, we're victims of our circumstances, but we can make the world a better place than what we were raised in.

[–] SugarCatDestroyer@lemmy.world -1 points 2 weeks ago

Well, you can believe that there is a chance, but there is none. It can only be created with sweat and blood. There are no easy ways, you know, and sometimes there are none at all, and sometimes even creating one seems like a miracle.
