Why resisting AI?

Artificial Intelligence is actually causing more trouble than it solves.

  • The power consumption of AI data centers is significant and will continue to rise, slowing the energy transition and increasing our electricity bills.1

  • AI data centers require vast amounts of water to cool down the servers. This is already affecting several regions where water supplies are limited.2

  • Chatbots, like ChatGPT, have misled people, causing mental health issues and, in some cases, leading to suicide.3

  • Democracies around the world are under threat from AI-generated fake news and deepfakes.4

  • Artists and creators have seen their artwork plagiarized by generative AI.5

  • The incorporation of undesired and often useless AI features is making platforms and software worse.6

  • AI slop has flooded the internet, leaving little room for real human contributions and interaction.7
