Resist "AI"
The author argues that current AI systems impose massive environmental costs—training models can require $100 million, over a billion watt-hours of electricity, a million liters of water, and data-center power comparable to 100,000 households. AI also erodes deep learning and expertise, leading developers to miss errors and lose understanding. Additionally, corporations are replacing human workers with AI, prompting the author to call for broad resistance until these harms are mitigated.
