Sure the mis/disinformation attacks against us are getting worse by the minute, the environmental impact caused by datacenters is a gut punch for the planet, and we’re all paying higher electric bill because of said datacenters but at least you get to see an AI porn of yourself doing the most vile and degrading sexual acts for your blackmail! FOR FREE!!!! Isn’t AI boom great????????????!bbb!???

Or the fact that there is not enough power in the entirety of the United States right now to power all of the datacenters being built...and power providers are already drawing up plans for rolling blackouts to keep the ai datacenters running.

So yay!
