A snip of thoughts on AI that I have but am not proud of but I genuinely cannot understand or expect an alternative being better at this point

 A snip of thoughts on AI that I have but am not proud of but I genuinely cannot understand or expect an alternative being better at this point:

 So I guess my message is, this is a versatile tool that can be very good if used conscientiously; let's not to use AI the way society has habitually used plastic. But like plastic, if you're going to die or get or stay seriously sick if you don't use it, I am not in favour of the common person who needs it for that being guilted into not using it. Please don't let this be the hill you actually literally die or lose every bit of your wellness on. The rich are going to overuse this to make more money anyway, using it minimally for what you need or for innovation that actually helps the world is not a bad thing. So stay conscientious but don't ban yourself from using it altogether if it is actually at the cost of your life. We don't need the worst of both worlds. 

      I'm an environmentalist have spent my whole life advocating for sustainable use of resources. I know we are people aren't gonna do it properly. But I'm an environmentalist not just because nature is beautiful but because I want living beings to have the chance to live.

       I also don't think my view is necessarily objectively "right" either though or the one everyone should have necessarily. Because it relies on people actually just being conscientious about it, but tragedy of the commons occurs time and time again. Unfortunately, me advocating for conscientious balance is going to contribute to cop-out excuses and abusing the tool pretending it's needed when not.

      And I know even if not an excuse, it will absolve people enough to use it because it's cheap and the horrid broken system makes everything too expensive.

        But I feel like we are looking at environmental catastrophe in the face right now and because of the hyper wealthy it's inevitable. My view does not break the cycle, but I'm saying it anyway because I don't think the alternative breaks the cycle either, I think it just allows the cycle to continue but leaving people who are already behind in the dust even more. So if it's going to happen anyway I just want to save the good people along the way who would sacrifice themsleves for a greater good that cannot be achieved anyway. Instead of sacrificing themsleves entirely on this hill for probably the same or virtually the same outcome to occur, I hope good people save themselves so they can live to fight a other day for something else.

       Yikes my anxiety is bad with this one. I'm gonna take a break. I'm so embarrassed to be thinking like this honestly I feel like I have to admit all these thoughts and explain them.

       I don't even think I'm right I just don't want people to die for nothing.

I don't think humans failure to use a resource responsibility means using that resource at all is bad. And realistically the outlook we have in terms of AI and its impacts is not good. But I don't think common that people sacrificing, or I should say continuing to sacrifice, their health being worked to death is worth this iota of slowing that inevitable outcome. It's good that people are being conscious and conscientious right from the get-go. That wasn't the case with plastic. But I just don't want the world's most empathetic people sacrificing their lives for nothing.

       Keep being conscientious, but if you need it, use it to live to fight another day for something else.
