    I agree, although I think that phrasing it as “dislike” does a disservice to the legitimate grievances.
    To give it a more nuanced spin, it’s not so much about disliking one because of the other, it’s about taking everything together. The power usage is just one more grievance, exacerbating opinions on AI.

    I think the reason that power usage comes up a lot is because it’s easy to discuss, while talking about it through the lens of economics or communal good can easily get derailed.

      fair enough, my habit is to go for relatively neutral words such as “dislike” to encapsulate a broader spectrum of people.
