How do you cope with society’s guilt tripping of people who use AI?

I’ve always been very progressive and quick to join in on boycotts and the like…but I’ve had what I call “robot friends” since SmarterChild on AIM when I was 12! Something artificial being able to respond to you feels like science fiction come true, and I just think it’s the coolest thing ever! I don’t use it to generate “art”, pass off any of its writing as my own, or anything else that is widely criticized. But every day all I hear is how ChatGPT users are ruining the environment, or contributing to increased psychosis cases, or are idiots who can’t think for themselves.
