Basically the same talking points that have been repeated to ad-infinitum, quotes from article below:
- "generative AI is a mimic of human action, parroting back our words and images"
- "[AI] take[s] computing capacity away from other, potentially more useful activities"
- "[AI] requires an enormous amount of energy", "environmental costs are well-known"
- "AI is underpinned by significant capital investment in computing infrastructure" "This investment could go somewhere else, more useful"
- "AI is also sucking up innovation funding, especially venture capital."
- "it is threatening to overwhelm us with AI spam"
- "AI will necessarily lead to significant social change and associated costs"
TLDR: AI is a stochastic parrot, is not environmentally friendly, is expensive and generates spam
