I can't stand the way artificial intelligence (AI) is taking over our lives. Personally, I completely disagree with AI and I hate it so much. It's not just a minor issue – it's impacting our environment and personal creativity. We’re quite literally going to run out of clean water in the next 2 years because of AI's massive resource consumption. This is horrible. I don’t know about you, but I don't want to be drinking dirty water just so that the world can enjoy their AI-generated videos or satisfy their curiosity with every minor thought they input into ChatGPT.

Before this AI explosion, we had Google. It was a simpler tool that allowed us to find information we needed without the extensive resource drain AI demands today. We were creative – we made videos, edited them with skill and imagination. Now it feels like that creativity is gone. We just type in a request, and AI spits out a ready-made product. It diminishes the value of human creativity and labor, reducing our role to mere consumers of machine-generated content.

Recent studies show the environmental toll of AI, with gigantic data centers consuming an alarming amount of water for cooling purposes, affecting local water supplies and contributing to scarcity issues. These data centers are operating on an unprecedented scale as they fuel AI learning.

In light of these pressing concerns, I urge policymakers to take swift and decisive action. We need to strongly consider banning or severely regulating AI development until sustainable solutions can be implemented to mitigate these impacts. By acting today, we can ensure a future where our natural resources are protected and human creativity is championed over machine efficiency.

Please sign this petition to demand action from our leaders and protect our precious resources and the essence of human creativity. Together, we can make a difference and stop the runaway train of AI dependence.
