I don't get the AI hate. It reminds me of the hate for the digital editing tools like Photoshop back 20 years ago.

It uses too much power.

They steal from those that actually create work and don't pay them for the [sarcasm] privellege [/sarcasm]. People have to eat and as creatives we need to be paid for our work, or those feeding the models data need to create the work themselves which they can't do because most of them have invested 0 time or effort into actually being creative in that way. Which is why they do this, because most of them have no actual skill and are envious of those who do.

I also, just in general don't want my conversations to be used to fuel some bot that makes money for someone else. It's bad for privacy and also, what am I getting out of it? Nothing materially beneficial that I can see and it'll probably endanger mine or someone else's life.

Its results are often bad, as in inaccurate or downright dangerous.

It's just the latest line in a long list of scams designed to give money and power to those on the top of the pile already, see: Cryptocurrency, nfts, loot boxes, microtransactions etc.
