De profundis:

Stop.
Using.
Fucking.
AI.
Generated.
Imagery.

No. It won't solve all the problems you say you're worried about. But it sure as fuck helps to not:

- have an image made in a way that deprives a village in Africa from fresh water for a week
- give some billionaire asshole the impression that there's a huge market for his crap so he Really Should Build More Data Centers.

So just don't. I get the message without them. We ALL get the message without them.
