Well, if someone questioned the environmental consequences of combustion engines a hundred years ago, they would be laughed of, but decades later we came to the conclusion that they're terrible to tbe environment. Jumping on new things without pondering the consequences, like we mostly do as a society, isn't very different from fearing everything new. I think it's a good thing to have some caution and discuss the possible consequences of generative ai. I would prefer more data and less sentiment, though.
