Closed-source AI hate is understandable, but local AI has nothing that should concern AI haters

Let’s face it, AI is forbidden to be praised or used in pretty much any online community outside of AI-focused sites without mass anger and vitriol in said communities. the same old strawman takes and insults show up pretty much every time someone posts an ai-generated image/video on other subreddits. They always say that AI is killing the environment and wasting water, driving up ram prices. which is somewhat the case with closed-source models via datacenters, understandably an issue. and that corporations, fascist governments and billionares use it for all the wrong, horrible reasons.
