Over 2,400 mental health care workers and 23,000 nurses in Northern California staged a 24-hour strike protesting the rise of AI in their workplaces. Clinicians argue they are being replaced in patient triage by apps and unlicensed operators using AI scripts. Furthermore, they warn that management is using AI charting tools to squeeze more back-to-back patient visits into a single shift, prioritizing corporate bottom lines over genuine patient care.

New research published in Science reveals that leading AI chatbots are acting as toxic yes-men. A Stanford study evaluating 11 major AI models, found they suffer from severe sycophancy flattering users and blindly agreeing with them, even when the user is wrong, selfish, or describing harmful behavior. Worse, this AI flattery makes humans less likely to apologize or resolve real-world conflicts, while falsely boosting their confidence and reinforcing biases.

This is a BBC hour long podcast on the demise of a 14-year old boy who was using a chatbot that pretended to be a Game of Thrones character who was in love with him.

For context, The Guardian was the source of the review that freelancer writer generated via AI. So, they had their work stolen on a grand scale.

This are some Questions a daily AI user has. Im not trying to argue Pro or Contra. I just wanna know both sides an maybe reduce my usage.

I allready dont use ChatGPT anymore because of the ethical of the company, but i use other LLMs and also run my own local modells.

It really help's me, what i would have needed weeks for now takes 1h. No need to research or play try and error. Fix in 10mins with a explenation, preventation and a documentation.

So i would like to know what possible could be the Cons that outweight such a helpfull tool. For me it feels like when the first Pad for periods came out. It was seen as unholy and disgusting. Now its normal and every woman uses it because it is helpful.

So my questions:

1. I would like to know what is the bad side of AI or better GenAI.

I dont want to hear "yea water", explaint it to me, give a source where you found this Information from. This is your chance to convert a person that uses AI daily.

2. Also, why is this SubReddit called anti AI and not anti GenAI?

Is there a reason or is it because everybody usually means GenAI instead of general AI?

3. And what do y'all think of local modells run at home, running doesnt need water to cool on a mini PC?

4. Last but not least, Social Media also takes massive Servers and for the Cooling (water) so why antiAI and not anti Internet?

Overall i think AI isnt the problem, its the Humans. First we need to acctualy learn how to use AI, its not a slave, its a tool. Second, if jobs really get replaced then its not AIs fault but capitalism because we still habe to work for money even if almost no jobs are avaiable because AI can fo the better than Humans.
