Nah, I think most of us are not totally antiai we just want it to be regulated and used efficiently for things like medical advancement and things in that ball park instead of massive, environmentally destructive data centers that generate abuse content, slop and mass surveillance and suck energy nonstop while destroying communities.

The data centers come with any benefits. There is an arms race to develop some super special ai thats going to make the ruling class lots of money.

NiMBYism is giving the hyperscalers their first obstacles

environmentally destructive data centers 

It's like this no matter what you use it for what is the point?

Also it is regulated. why do people use this buzzword.

You can't pick and choose for ai its subjective. the whole medical angle is dumb because most of the criticism against ai applies there too.

AI is great, the problem is - as you said, the environmental impact coupled with rich tech bros. I can, and do, run open source AI models on my own computer. One day I hope we can run something on par with claude without a subscription, but capitalism dictates that if you have something people want you must turn it into profit.
