Ai is running on huge datacenters, these datacenters take freshwater and use it to cool these servers and taints the water turning it into gray water. This is happened in some areas with active droughts. On top of that these data centers are widely run on petroleum based energy systems and they are outputting so much pollution they're making nearby people sick. They are actively, rapidly making a water crisis and accelerating climate change.

Nothing that's for "the people" would be actively making everything for people worse. Not to mention the theft of intellectual property without compensation or even credit or permission used to train these libraries.
