The environmental cost is not enormous because I'm not using it on a massive scale. I kill more of the environment playing PlayStation than I do using AI. I also don't use AI to get exposure to art, I use it to critique my writing from a different perspective. I'm a good enough writer to know what feedback to accept and what not to, same as when I use it for programming: I'm an expert with 30 years of experience and I can evaluate the quality of the code, however sometimes it points out things I've missed because I'm also human and can make mistakes.

I'm a better writer than 95% of the planet, which isn't good enough to be a professional, but is more than sufficient for social media. However I do appreciate an outside perspective and believe me I am well able to recognize bullshit feedback that doesn't align with my style or intent. I also rarely use it for that in any event because I rarely look at what I've written and have a sense I'm missing something — but it does happen.
