As an artist I absolutely HATE generative AI with a burning passion as it steals from people like myself and its a way for corporations to avoid paying artists, graphic designers, and other creatives for their hard work just to accumulate more money for their endless greed, art and creativity is what makes us human and what makes humans special.
Beyond the blatant disregard for the importance of human identity, data centers use an astronomical amount of water to cool the systems which is detrimental for the environment of our beautiful island. And furthermore the AI center will take an incredible amount of electricity to run which will very likely skyrocket our power bills, so if you don't care about human art you should at least care about the impact this will have on our environment and our wallets. Please sign this petition and donate if you can, I don't want this trash in our city.
Mason supported: Stop Nanaimo City from building AI data centresAi will destroy the indigenous lands that Canada has stolen, and poison the waters for all of us. It is stealing jobs, it is stealing creativity; and as a student of a high-school, it is stealing students motivation, literary skills, and drive to improve and do things on our own. As a victim of chantbots myself, I can confidently say I feel less skilled in my writing, my creativity, and my thoughts. As an aspiring artist I fear for the world of art and creativity because so many people use ai to make "art" that steals fom other real artist, I fear for writers who will/are being accused of using ai. I fear for the youth's who are growing up with ai constantly shoved down our throats. Constantly advertised or inserted into outer day to day, even if we try to google something, we use ai unintentionally with the AI overview, wich is wrong or provides fallacies at times.
Rebecca supported: Stop Nanaimo City from building AI data centresIt would pull thousands of liters of water from our reservoirs every hour, tightning the screws on the same supply that makes us chose between lawn watering and food gardens every July. If not treated correctly it would also pollute our beautiful rivers and change our ecosystem. That same water could stay in the rivers to keep the salmon eggs cool, flow through taps furing the next drought, and so much more.
