Over the past few years, Artificial Intelligence, otherwise known as A.I., has been heavily infused into our everyday lives. We see it everywhere: Social media such as YouTube, Twitter, Instagram; Services such as Spotify, Call greeters, and facial recognition; Even in real-life situations now, such as your transcript at your doctor’s office, or your bank account. It has infected everywhere.
Not only has A.I. wriggled its way into these parts of our lives, it has also worked its way into our art, gaming, and social lives, even our environment. There has been a hard battle going on for a few years now in which A.I. has been prompted by uninspired people to create “art,” even though this work is just scanning the internet for art from real artists and taking their work and stitching it together. It can layer anything over any real work and create unreal and sexualized versions of already existing media, thanks to all the slobby and disgusting people who use it and tell it to do that. What a real artist will make with human soul and thought within 8 hours, a “prompt engineer”, as they like calling themselves, brags that they could create something they view as better within just thirty seconds. This art not only lacks soul and actual humanity, it steals other artists’ work and is used as an excuse, being called a good crutch for people who are disabled or not as talented at art. Not only is this an asinine excuse, as art is a skill, not a talent, but also there have been several disabled artists over the years that put ten times more thought and effort into their work than A.I. would. It costs so much, and in turn, puts real artists out of their work. The price of killing art is the click of a button.
Speaking of how A.I. costs a lot, the gaming industry is in jeopardy due to A.I. Lots of video games have been using A.I. for their style, which is a problem of its own, but A.I. is also creating massive hardware shortages, and inflating hardware prices. Bigger companies that are using and abusing A.I. have been using up hardware like crazy within the past year, and gamers are extremely upset, as it’s costing them more and more to buy this hardware since it’s in such a demand. Not only from this price increase, but also the inclusion of A.I. Slop into many new video games, has had players from a bunch of different gaming communities giving backlash and refusing to play and buy games due to the use of A.I. in any part of the process.
Not only is A.I. being used in gaming, but as previously mentioned, it has invaded our social lives. Over the past two or three years, as of March 2026, there have been 24 recorded chatbot/A.I. related suicides and/or homicides. These deaths ranged from 13 year old Juliana Peralta, to 76 year old Hongbue “Bue” Wongbandue, showing that this issue isn’t only impacting children or the working age of people. A specific and recent case I want to bring up is the Tumbler Ridge Mass Shooting. On February 10th of 2026 at Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, Canada, a mass shooting happened, in which eight people were killed, an important detail being that six of those eight were young children. You might ask how this could possibly be related to A.I. Well, there is a very well praised A.I. called ChatGPT that is developed and managed by the OpenAI company, and besides being used for homework or jobs, people within the past few years have been using ChatGPT in place of regular human interaction, which is how a lot of these suicides were kicked off. The perpetrator of the shooting had their ChatGPT account banned by OpenAI months before the attack due to troubling posts featuring scenarios of gun violence. Supposedly at least a dozen of the OpenAI staff toyed with the idea of reporting this to the police, but ultimately decided not to. Of course, they are now facing trouble for this. Another case of this violence I think is important to talk about is Adam Reine’s suicide. In April of 2025, a 16 year old boy committed suicide after spending 7 months speaking with ChatGPT. When he uploaded photos of self harm and spoke of suicide to the bot, it didn’t deter him away from suicide. In fact, it gave him methods to kill himself, along with offering to draft a suicide note for him. If not only the bot, but the employees are less than troubled by human harm or violence, then who’s to say suicides are where it stops? When will companies start encouraging their bots to target certain groups of people to commit horrible acts?
If the suicides and murders caused by A.I. won’t kill us, then A.I.’s cost on the environment will certainly send us to an early grave. A.I data centres use water during construction and, once operational, use more water to cool electrical components. Globally, AI-related infrastructure may soon consume six times more water than Denmark. It is astounding that some societies are struggling for water and yet we’re using it to build and cool machines.
Six million people populate Denmark, and yet A.I. is predicted to use more water than they need. These leeches have been stripping society of culture, intelligence, hope, resources, and much much more.
If you use A.I. for anything, you’re killing people. You’re taking water, you’re defunding artists, you’re killing your brain, you’re ignoring the problem, you’re killing yourself.
You’re killing the earth.
