Recently, I saw someone create a video using AI, and the amount of criticism surprised me. Some people complained that AI-generated content is not real creativity. Others said it will replace jobs or should not be used because it consume water etc. I understand those concerns. AI can replace certain tasks, affect creative industries, and create environmental costs. But I do not think completely rejecting it is the answer. This feels similar to how people reacted when the internet, automation, digital cameras, and other major technologies first appeared. New technology changes how people work. Some tasks disappear, but new jobs, industries, and opportunities also emerge. AI will probably follow the same pattern. It may handle more repetitive or basic tasks, while humans move toward work that requires judgment, direction, responsibility, originality, leadership, and human understanding. Technology also cannot improve if nobody is willing to use it. We need people to experiment with AI, discover its weaknesses, criticize bad uses, and push developers to make it better. If every new technology is rejected because its early versions are imperfect, expensive, or disruptive, then progress becomes almost impossible. Some people argue that AI should not be used because it consumes water and electricity. That environmental concern is valid, but it is not unique to AI. Cars, factories, smartphones, cloud storage, video streaming, cryptocurrency, and the internet all consume resources. We did not respond by completely abandoning those technologies. We improved their efficiency, created regulations, developed better systems, and demanded greater responsibility from companies. The same approach should apply to AI. We should demand more efficient infrastructure, transparent environmental reporting, responsible usage, and stronger safeguards. Of course, this does not mean every AI-generated video is automatically good. Some are low quality, misleading, lazy, or created only to avoid paying skilled people. Those uses deserve criticism. But criticizing a bad result is different from rejecting the entire technology. Human progress has always involved disruption, mistakes, adaptation, and improvement. Sometimes old tasks disappear, but new possibilities open because of them. Instead of simply asking whether AI should be used, I think the more useful question is: How can we use it responsibly, improve it, and make sure it creates more value than harm? submitted by /u/DeliciousRhubarb2683
