Oh well, here's some information about why it's bad anyways, straight from Wikipedia with the sources still linked, though this is specifically about how it harms the earth we live on.
"A request made via ChatGPT, an AI-based virtual assistant, uses 10 times as much electricity as a Google Search.[3] Microsoft and Meta had similar increases in their carbon footprint, similarly attributed to AI.[1]"
"AI has a significant carbon footprint due to growing electricity consumption, especially due to training and usage[11][12]
Researchers have argued that the carbon footprint of AI models during training should be considered when attempting to understand the impact of AI.[13] One study suggested that by 2027, energy costs for AI could increase to 85–134 Twh, nearly 0.5% of all current electricity usage.[14][1] Training large language models (LLMs) and other generative AI generally requires much more electricity compared to running a single prediction on the trained model.[15] Using a trained model repeatedly, though, may easily multiply the electricity costs of predictions.[15] The computation required to train the most advanced AI models doubles every 3.4 months on average, leading to exponential power usage and resulting carbon footprint.[16] Additionally, artificial intelligence algorithms running in places predominantly using fossil fuels for energy will exert a much higher carbon footprint than places with cleaner energy sources.[17] These models may be modified for less environmental impacts at the cost of accuracy, emphasizing the importance of finding the balance between accuracy and environmental impact."
"BERT, a language model trained in 2019, required "the energy of a round-trip transcontinental flight" to train [19] GPT-3 released 552 metric tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere during training, "the equivalent of 123 gasoline-powered passenger vehicles driven for one year".[19][20][21] Much of the energy cost is due to inefficient model architectures and processors.[19] One model named BLOOM, from Hugging Face, trained with more efficient chips and, therefore, only released 25 metric tons of CO2.[20] Incorporating the energy cost of manufacturing the chips for the system doubled the carbon footprint, to "the equivalent of around 60 flights between London and New York.[20] Operating BLOOM daily was estimated to release the equivalent carbon footprint as driving 54 miles.[20]"
And that's nowhere near all of it. If we focus on people, many have lost their jobs because people want zero-quality work that costs less over someone who knows what they're doing but needs money.

And that's what I was saying. ADHD and autism aren't things that stop artists from being great artists, the only thing stopping one from becoming an artist is themself (and sometimes their environment and/or conditions, but those situations are rare).

I'm sorry if I occasionally sound rude or condescending by the way, I don't intend that. I just care a lot about this topic.
