Because war industry is an old story and killing people mostly happen in global south which is benefitting capitalist core so average liberal/conservative just see it as benefit and jobs. AI is new and trendy boogeyman and it’s at home.
People have protested the military industrial complex for decades and centuries. Possibly even millennia.
YOU not being aware of it is different from it not happening.
Stop the false equivalency and whataboutism.

Here on lemmy i’ve seen more people cheering up at europe’s rearmament than i’ve seen complaining about the military industrial complex power waste.
Europe is supporting Ukraine in an existential fight for their lives.
This is far different from wanting to generate a false naked picture of some person.

European governments are supporting ukraine government in multiple ways including sending them weapons, this has not much to do with european countries boosting their already over the top military budget.

I would argue that generating a false naked picture of someone is less harmful for humanity than spending the same amount of energy to develop a weapon designed to murder other human beings.
Sure. Please get the aggressors in wars to stop and only generate nudes.
People protesting agains the arms industry will generally focus on the bigger problem, which is all the people being killed.
“Stop murdering people” is probably a more powerful message than “Stop wasting resources on murdering people”.
This makes me wonder if some people are using the power usage issue to attack AI in general.
Using a massive negative of AI to attack AI is confusing to you?
What’s confusing to me is why the power energy negative is being used only to attack AI
It’s not? Power draw and efficiency has always been used as a major negative to a lot of things, it’s why we have more power efficient devices now. AI is consuming this power for what exactly? It’s entirely pointless, only there to enable a circular economy among mega-corporations.
But that’s beyond the point here…
It’s entirely irrelevant if something is a negative to one thing and not another. When talking drawbacks for something, there isn’t a list you have to pick from, they are going to be specific to it.
