It's not the product makers that are creating the smear campaign, it's the people who don't want the general populous to access power AI.

So they have the power to run a smear campaign that would alter society’s opinion on AI—which is so very useful and everyone would love it otherwise—but they don’t have the power to influence the building of billions of dollars of infrastructure to power these data centers?

The people pushing this are the people that benefit from the general populace being dumb as shit. That’s why they’re pushing it. AI doesn’t make anyone more informed or intelligent, it’s an echo chamber.

Yes, they have the power to smear, it's not that hard.

They can't stop then building why would them being able to smear mean they can't build data centers? That doesn't make any sense.

The anti AI groups can smear, I don't see what that has to do with AI companies building data centers.

AI gives informed and data resourced answers. It's better than just reading Facebook comments.

It increases intelligence because it shows the best way to do something, and everyone can learn from that.

It's not an echo chamber, it provides answers for almost everything.
