Stop Generating AI “Content”

“But AI generation has so much potential!”

Yes- it has great potential to pollute the planet and kill people faster. Yippie! /s

Pinned Post of Bluesky user @yannoehl.bsky.social 
Posted 6months ago when the screenshot was taken on August 25th 2025

The post reads:
"<< WARNING: Created with AI >>
I use AI tools as part of my creative process. I am aware of the ethical, environmental, and copyright concerns inherent in its current implementation. However, I am optimistic that many of these concerns will be addressed as the technology continues to evolve."

A user on Bluesky that posts AI content admitting in their pinned post to knowing the harms of AI but is “optimistic” that those issues will just somehow resolve themselves while still participating in it.

Artificial Intelligence has been around for quite some time now but only recently has AI been used to replace creation. John McCarthy was a computer scientist at Stanford University and held the first AI conference at Dartmouth back in 1955. McCarthy wanted to know if a computer could make the process of finding the solutions to problems scientists wanted to solve easier. He discovered they could. These AI models were trained on scientific research papers on specific topics with specific goals in mind. Today a similar model, Clinical Histopathology Imaging Evaluation Foundation (CHIEF), is being trained to detect cancer cells before they have even developed. In order to do so, it takes time and lots of it. Why? Because it has to be tested and trained and tested and trained again for it to start to become useful in the job it was created for.

Billionaires, however, are not patient and willing to poison and displace communities in order to do it as quickly as possible. The AI models billionaires push out are meant to replace creators entirely so of course they are trained on content without the consent of the original creator and are open to the public so they can convince you to train their model for free. Most of the time they are using your posts on social media to train their model without even telling you. But, what is the real difference of these two models anyways? Ethics, that’s the biggest difference.

AI Types Explained

There are four major differences between what I will call from now on Ethical AI and Unethical AI: how/where it’s hosted, how it learns/what it’s trained on (otherwise known as Machine Learning or ML), intent, and impact.

Ethical AI

how/where it’s hosted
Usually small servers that do not take up land, not available to just anyone, and usually has the same demands of a high-end PC.

how it learns/what it’s trained on
Trained on specific information with consent when applicable. Scientific papers or a language, for example.

intent
Resolve or assist with an issue for the greater good. For example, a voice to text AI model I’ve seen my doctor use for taking notes.

impact
Potentially true accessibility to complete tasks with your needs in mind (aka equity) and preventive healthcare could one day include cancer, among who knows what else. The only downside of ethical AI is it takes time to get to the point it can be useful.

Unethical AI

how/where it’s hosted
Large data servers that take up land, available to anyone with internet access, and has a large demand of resources.

how it learns/what it’s trained on
Trained on media without permission, continues to “learn” from whatever anyone is willing to feed it.

intent
Profit, confuse, control, replace.

impact
A quick “reward” and “potential”.
Plagiarized media used for political misinformation or a “yes” machine that will quite literally encourage you to kill yourself. What do I mean by potential? I mean every single company you know of is adding AI to their business because they think it will make them money in the future and in my opinion try to avoid paying people.

Hi.
Barebones embedded engineer here.
I've started to use Gemini pro as a resonance box. I'm more productive now.
I ask for snippets of code to do tasks. Of course there are errors.
But speeds up my work.
I'm really surprised on how much.
Even when designing hardware.
But you must know what you're doing. It is easy to introduce subtle bugs in the C code and its electronics abilities are really sub-par.
I have to point to it errors in its reasoning every day.
A mixed bag.

I don’t know about you, but paying for a program you often have to correct seems pretty counterproductive. You’re actively PAYING to train their model.


A post on Facebook by Chris Phillips that critizes the use of generative AI for creative purposes and has three captures from an AI advertisement by Coca-Cola that shows various animals in a snowy area with lit up Coca-Cola trucks.

I’m doing by best at trying to write this but I keep finding more sources and the list of things to cover keeps getting longer. I WILL FINISH THIS THOUGH.

I have a proposal for the anti-AI people who complain about data centres taking up resources like water and energy. How about for 12 hours a day every day, you stop using your phones and other devices? This would directly reduce the total demand on data centres, helping to lower utility bills for low-income communities. Let's see if your commitment to the planet is stronger than your screen time.

AI data centers trope the data centers we already have. Instead of adding more data centers for garbage AI, how about we fix the current ones? No? You just want to use AI because you're lazy and talentless? Got it.
