Before digital art, we cut down trees to make paper for artists. Nobody called their drawings “slop” or accused them of destroying the planet.
Now some of those same people see AI art and suddenly every tool needs an environmental audit.
It’s fair to question AI’s impact. Let’s be honest about the tools that came before it too.
In 2016, Canada made MAID (euthanasia) available.
In 2024, over 16,000 Canadians (95% of whom were White Canadians) died through MAID, more than the number of gun homicides in the US.
This is terrifying.
