>Look I'm not an anti-AI supporter, but you can't put your head in the sand about the environmental and social destruction it causes. Even if you use it to do good it's still incredibly harmful.

We aren't putting our heads in the sand, we're objecting to increasingly frantic pushes on a global scale to force this shit on us all. We're doing harm reduction on every front we can from personal lives to software.

You're not talking about the same thing I am. You're suggesting there are negative externalities from using AI. I generally agree with that take. But I am suggesting AI is generally useful. I am not discussing if it's a net positive for society, but it's very likely a net positive for individuals, especially those who produce code.
