They aren’t promoting an environmentalist message here though, but an anti-animal-cruelty message. You can agree or disagree that it’s a good message, but it has nothing to do with their shitty AI ad.
It’s a single AI image. The impact of generating a single image is basically nothing. I think it’s a stupid post, but they should be able to post it without being denigrated about the effects of AI generated images
This is a universal thing that happens to anyone advocating for positive change even if just tangentially to the environment. Constantly told it isn’t perfect enough. Greta Thunberg had her efforts constantly belittled, no matter how she did it. She spent months crossing the ocean on a boat to avoid taking a plane, but was still put on blast for it
Advocating for a more sustainable way of life shouldn’t be met with a persistent, “but you’re not perfect”
Secondly, there are plenty of examples of different species of animals that benefit - nay, thrive - because of climate change. Blanket statements such as yours is not helping either side.
I agree. However if you do stuff primarily for the animals, you almost always are secondarily doing things for ecology and society too, even if that isn’t necessarily the intention. There are a lot of beneficial external side effects to spreading veganism.
a big fish requires smaller fish to live. something that himans eat a lot of
ai does use a lot of water, but i dont think its a driving factor that majorly affects fish. there may be places where industrial water use is “drying up” rivers, lakes, etc, but ai data centers are not likely a proportionally large part of this. most water use goes towards agriculture, and a lot of that agriculture is used for animal feed (for the animals that people eat) and creating ethanol to power cars. ai is bad, but not in a way tgat greatly affecta fish

Animals aren’t as good as humans at surviving climate change, so caring about one should include caring about the other…

The animal they’re asking us not to eat requires water to live. Something ai uses a lot of.

Sushi is generally salt water fish. AI uses fresh water.
