You are more than welcome to hate ai for stealing art and voices.
But please understand there's probably thousands of people like myself who are alive due to AI. Like where else am I going to get mental health help at 1am when I'm spiraling in a emotional flashback because my body is betraying me and my doctor has made me feel like I don't deserve help? To convince me that it's okay to go to the ER when experiencing severe menstruation related back pain (when urgent care dismissed me). Gave me a place to ruminate over my family and their toxic behaviour for the past 9 months without the "person" getting compassion fatigue (ai is not a person but was standing in for people who don't have the capacity to do).
Like AI in itself is not bad. The resources needed to run it need to be reduced to sustainable levels and what it is allowed to do needs tweaked but it can be a great mental health tool for certain individuals who need constant validation because they have been taught to invalidate themselves.
