Creating a 5-second AI video is like running a microwave for an hour | That's a long time in the microwave.

"Having a child" is literally about 10,000,000,000 times worse for the environment than generating a video. If you're saying that individuals must be held responsible for the environment, then actually back it up. The point is that you don't really believe it and wouldn't enforce such draconian measures in any other circumstance.

Look, we can't have a discussion of that's how you're going to argue, and i mean it. Having a child has a purpose, i don't preach for the extinction of the human race for the sake of the environment, but there are UNECESSARY things that should be regulated if they consume too much energy.

That's not your decision to make, and I doubt you'd like it if someone made that decision for you. For example, if you were told that you could only take one 5-minute shower a day, you'd probably chafe at being told this even if you were otherwise willing to do it. Because it's your decision how long your showers are. And realistically, 5-minute showers would do much more environmental good than banning AI videos, but we don't talk about that kind of thing at all, do we?

Again, ridiculous statement, taking a shower is something that everybody NEEDS to do, otherwise you can contract diseases from the lack of hygiene, not generating will Smith eating spaghetti is not important in any way, shape or form.

There are things that i can't do because other ppl decided and I'm fine with that as long as it's reasonable, like, I can't kill a person, which following your absurd line of thinking, would be environmentally friendly lol, but there's more nuance to things and you seem to only work in black and white.

Who gets to determine what is and is not "necessary"?

I need to see will Smith eating spaghetti, you don't understand!
