You AI bootlickers make me sick. Besides the fact that you think AI has practical use, how can you justify the clean water being wasted, art being ruined, and jobs lost over a chatbot?
Clearly you can't think for yourself if you can only talk through AI. But surely you have experience expressing thought like a normal human. After all, you miraculously survived before chat bots became available for widespread use.
Saying that other people are wrong for being against AI and its negative environmental effects truly makes no sense. You can't call that "purity culture" when it is both our planet and our people that are hurting.
Even if you try to claim you don't like what's happening, you continuing to use AI is a direct contradiction. I promise you, you can survive and function without it.
Try, for once, to explain your justification for the damage being done with your own brain. Actually THINK about it. Don't run my message through ChatGPT and ask for it to generate you a reply. Don't hand it a general notion and have it help you form something conceivable, either. Just use your own words. Formulate an argument without using the very thing that is being debated over.
Nothing can justify the harm this is causing. And if you don't care enough to do something about it, you're one sick person.

Letâs begin.
1. âAI bootlickers⊠water wasted, art ruined, jobs lostâ
This is three separate issues stacked into one emotional accusation.
Water use:
The phrasing here matters. âClean water being wastedâ suggests that potable drinking water is being casually diverted and discarded, which isnât an accurate representation of how data centres operate.
Data centres do use water for cooling â but not always in the simplistic âclean drinking water being wastedâ sense. Some operators use recycled or non-potable water sources, and some newer cooling systems no longer require potable water for cooling at all.
If the concern is water usage, then it should be discussed honestly â as a question of infrastructure and regulation, not as a caricature of how the technology works.
Art being âruinedâ:
This claim isnât new â and itâs never been particularly reliable.
What counts as art has been debated for generations. Fountain by Marcel Duchamp was rejected and caused a public scandal for challenging the very definition of art. Decades later, Andy Warholâs commercial, mass-produced imagery was dismissed by critics as mechanical, vapid, and hostile to ârealâ artistic expression.
Both are now considered central figures in modern art history.
The pattern is consistent: what gets framed as the âdeath of artâ is often just the arrival of a form some people resent before they understand it.
Jobs lost:
This is the only valid concern in the list â and it deserves to be taken seriously.
But it isnât unique to AI. Automation has been reshaping labour for generations. During the Industrial Revolution, machines like the power loom reduced the need for manual textile work, displacing skilled labour and triggering backlash such as the Luddite movement.
More recently, the introduction of automated teller machines (ATM) changed how people access banking services. Routine transactions that once required a teller could be done independently, at any time, without visiting a bank during opening hours.
The concern about job displacement existed then as well â yet the technology became widely adopted because it improved access and convenience, while the role of bank employees evolved rather than disappearing entirely.
The issue isnât the existence of new tools â itâs how society handles transition, protection, and adaptation.
2. âYouâre not thinking / you canât express yourselfâ
This isnât critique â itâs dismissal.
If someone needs you to prove your humanity by refusing tools, theyâre not engaging in good faith. Theyâre setting a standard that was never applied consistently in the first place.
And letâs be clear:
Using a tool does not replace thinking.
You choose what to say
You evaluate whatâs produced
You decide whatâs worth sharing
People already rely on tools to support their thinking every day:
Spellcheck doesnât mean you donât know how to write
Calculators donât mean you donât understand math
Search engines donât mean you donât know how to research
These tools assist the process. They donât replace it.
AI is no different in that regard â itâs simply more visible, and therefore more contested.
If anything, using AI well requires more judgement, not less.
If using a tool meant you werenât thinking, most modern work wouldnât qualify as thinking at all.
So the question isnât whether tools are being used.
Itâs why this particular tool is being singled out â and why the definition of âthinkingâ suddenly changes when it is.
3. âYou survived before AIâ
So?
We also survived before:
the internet
word processors
spellcheck
digital photography
And if we want to take that logic seriously:
People survived before vaccines â with significantly shorter lifespans
People survived before antibiotics â when minor infections could turn deadly
People survived before clean water systems â with far higher rates of disease
People survived before seat belts â with far higher rates of injury and death
People survived before Morse code and the telegraph â when even urgent news could take weeks or months to travel
âPeople lived without it beforeâ is not an argument.
Itâs a reminder that survival alone has never been the standard for progress.
Framing the absence of a tool as inherently better ignores why those tools were adopted in the first place: to improve efficiency, safety, access, and quality of life.
Nostalgia isnât evidence. Itâs just comfort with the familiar.
If âwe survived without itâ were a serious argument, weâd still be living without most of the things that made modern life safer and more sustainable.
4. âYou canât call it purity cultureâ
Yes, you can.
Because the behaviour fits:
Moral absolutism
Social pressure and shaming
Focus on who is using the tool instead of how
Thatâs purity culture â just dressed in environmental language.
Now â hereâs the important nuance:
Environmental concerns are valid.
But the way theyâre being framed here suggests that AI is the defining environmental crisis â as if the planet was doing just fine until this showed up.
It wasnât.
Climate change, mass extinction, and ecosystem collapse have been ongoing for decades â driven by industrial systems, fossil fuel dependency, and large-scale infrastructure long before AI entered the picture.
Positioning AI as the problem doesnât actually address those issues. It narrows the focus to a single, highly visible target while ignoring the much larger systems that have been causing damage for far longer.
If anything, that framing risks doing the opposite of what it claims to care about â because it replaces systemic thinking with a convenient scapegoat.
5. âIf you use it, youâre a contradictionâ
This argument collapses immediately under its own logic.
By that standard:
You canât criticize capitalism if you buy groceries
You canât criticize fossil fuels if you use a car
You canât criticize social media if you post online
You canât criticize fast fashion if you wear affordable clothing
You canât criticize industrial agriculture if you eat supermarket food
You canât criticize tech companies if you use a smartphone
Participating in a system does not mean endorsing every part of it.
You can:
use AI
criticize it
advocate for regulation
Thatâs not hypocrisy. Thatâs how people function in reality.
6. âRespond without AIâ
This isnât about the argument.
Itâs about control.
Dictating how someone is allowed to think or communicate is not a sign of a strong position â itâs the opposite.
Human communication has always been mediated by tools.
Language is a tool
Writing systems are tools
Word processors, spellcheck, and search engines are tools
People donât express themselves in a vacuum. They use whatever is available to organise, refine, and communicate their thoughts.
That standard is also applied selectively.
Nobody demands that writing be done without spellcheck, or that research be done without search engines, in order to count as ârealâ thinking. Those tools are accepted because they are familiar.
AI is being treated differently â not because it replaces thought, but because it is more visible.
It also lowers barriers.
Not everyone can articulate their thoughts clearly on demand. Not everyone communicates with the same ease or confidence. Tools can help people express ideas they already have but struggle to put into words.
That isnât the absence of a voice.
Itâs the amplification of one.
So when the condition becomes ârespond without AI,â the discussion is no longer about the argument itself.
It becomes about who is allowed to participate â and under what constraints.
7. âNothing justifies the harmâ
Absolute statements like this shut down discussion entirely.
No nuance.
No trade-offs.
No solutions.
If nothing can justify it, then improvement, regulation, and mitigation become irrelevant â because there is no acceptable outcome other than total rejection.
At that point, the position stops being practical.
It becomes ideological.
Every modern system carries some level of harm or cost â environmental, economic, or social. The question has never been whether harm exists, but how it is measured, reduced, and managed.
Refusing that framework doesnât eliminate harm.
It eliminates the possibility of doing anything about it.
Thatâs not an argument.
Thatâs a dead end.
What this is really about
This isnât just about AI.
It reflects a pattern in how the discussion is being framed:
control over how others are allowed to think or communicate
identity-based judgement rather than engagement with arguments
moral positioning that replaces nuance with absolutes
âYouâre not thinkingâ â control
âYouâre sickâ â moral judgement
âDo it my wayâ â gatekeeping
Meanwhile, the actual issues â labour, environment, regulation â get buried under outrage.
When the focus shifts from the issue to the person, the discussion has already lost its direction.
Final thought
If your argument depends on telling people theyâre not allowed to use tools, itâs not a strong argument.
Itâs just control dressed up as concern.
AI is not a hypothetical. It is already integrated into existing systems, and it is not going to disappear because people object to it online.
If the concern is environmental impact, labour displacement, or misuse, then those are issues that require regulation, policy, and oversight.
Directing that energy toward meaningful action â supporting regulation, engaging with policy discussions, or advocating for responsible implementation â would do far more than attempting to police how individuals choose to communicate.
Because if something is here to stay, the question stops being whether it should exist.
It becomes how it is managed.
If something isnât going away, refusing to engage with how it should be handled doesnât stop it â it just leaves those decisions to others.
You donât stop a system by refusing to understand it.

Creativity has always evolved alongside technology.
However, AI is reshaping how we think about authorship, ownership, and control.
When machines can generate art, music, and text, creativity becomes a shared space â and copyright turns into a cultural question, not just a legal one.

AI isnât replacing creativity; itâs reshaping how creative work happens.
In this piece, we explore how artificial intelligence is influencing the future of visual creation, from new tools and workflows to the evolving role of human creativity in an AI-assisted world.
Itâs a thoughtful look at where creative industries are headed and how artists, designers, and content creators can adapt without losing their creative voice.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has changed the way we think, work, and create. From generating art to writing blogs and composing music, AI tools are showing creative abilities that once belonged only to humans.
But this raises a big question â can AI truly replace human creativity? Or is human imagination something machines can never replicate?
Letâs explore both sides and find out who really wins â AI or human creativity.
What is Creativity?
Creativity means thinking beyond limits â coming up with new ideas, emotions, and expressions that connect with people.
For humans, creativity often comes from experiences, feelings, culture, and imagination.
AI, on the other hand, creates using patterns and data it has been trained on. It learns from millions of examples â but it doesnât âfeelâ or âexperienceâ them.
How AI Shows Creativity
AI is now capable of doing some amazing creative work:
Writing blogs, poems, and stories using tools like ChatGPT.
Creating stunning art using tools like DALL·E or Midjourney.
Composing background music and jingles for videos.
Generating videos and ads for brands within minutes.
AIâs creativity lies in speed and variety. It can generate hundreds of versions of an idea in seconds â something humans canât match.
For businesses, AI is a huge time-saver, helping creators brainstorm faster and execute ideas more efficiently.
The Human Edge in Creativity
Even though AI can create, it lacks emotions, context, and originality.
Humans have the power of:
Emotions â We feel joy, pain, nostalgia, and empathy, and we express those feelings creatively.
Cultural understanding â We create ideas influenced by our environment, society, and values.
Imagination â Humans can dream about things that donât exist and turn them into reality â something AI canât truly âimagine.â
For example, AI can paint a beautiful picture, but only a human can paint a story that makes someone cry.
When AI and Humans Work Together
The best results come when AI and human creativity combine.
AI can handle repetitive or technical tasks â while humans add emotional depth and storytelling.
Example:
A graphic designer uses AI to generate layout ideas, then adds personal touches to make it unique.
A writer uses AI to get a draft, then edits it with their own tone and experiences.
This teamwork creates faster, smarter, and more meaningful results.
The Future of Creativity
In the future, AI will continue to grow as a creative assistant â not a replacement.
Just like a calculator helps with math, AI will help with imagination. The real winners will be humans who learn to use AI as a creative partner.
Conclusion
So, who wins â AI or human creativity? The answer is: both.
AI wins in speed and efficiency.
Humans win in emotion and originality.
When they work together, creativity reaches its highest potential.
Itâs not a battle â itâs a collaboration.
As the creative community still grapples with how best to get their collective hands around AI, a group of creatives interviewed by Chelsea Pippin of Creative Boom, one of the UKâs leading platforms dedicated to the creative industries, give their vision for creativityâs future. I think it pertinent and interesting enough to share with you.
