What is the actual justification for this? Everyone has to pay for this except for AI companies, so AI can continue to develop into a universally regarded negative?

AI doesn't copy things anymore than a person copies them by attending a concert or museum.

why do you say AI is a universally regarded negative?

Edit: if you're going to downvote me, can you explain why? I am not saying AI is a good thing here. I'm just asking for evidence that it's universally disliked, i.e. there aren't a lot of fans. It seems there are lots of people coming to the defense of AI in this thread, so it clearly isn't universally disliked.

Because overall people don't like it, particularly when it comes to creating "art."

I am aware of a lot of people who are very gung-ho about AI. I don't know if anybody has actually tried to make a comprehensive survey about people's disposition toward AI. I wouldn't expect Lemmy to be representative.

I don't know the rest but I hate the spending of resources to feed the AI datacenters. It's not normal building a nuclear powerplant to feed ONE data center.

You've explained your personal opinion, and while I think it's a sensible opinion, I was asking about the universal opinion on AI. And I don't think there is a consensus that it's bad. Like I don't even understand how that's controversial -- everywhere you look, people are talking about AI in broadly mixed terms.
