AI should not be on Scratch, as the community believes it is wasting precious Scratch Team development time that could be used to add more useful suggestions and features. Problems with generative AI(this includes the Creative Learning Assistant): It is 500x less efficient than the human brain(human brain takes 30 watts to run, a single AI data centre takes 15 kilowatts) It is single-handedly accelerating global warming It is siphoning out crucial resources like iron, silicon and cobalt from the computers market It is producing significant amounts of inaccurate information that is causing harm and wrongdoing It is a threat to child safety across platforms and requires rigorous and exhaustive testing and resources to ensure safety It is killing creativity by trying to replace it It does not truly create anything, it only synthesises from existing data It is dividing communities with deepfakes, fake social media posts, etc It is causing millions of people to lose j*bs It is ruining trust in communities and institutions It is becoming a symbol of dishonesty and laziness It is producing code with many dangerous security flaws It cannot truly think, only mimic thinking It is the printing press of misinformation It is warping the definition of true art It is bloating computers and workflows unnecessarily It is being used to process large amounts of data without consent or disclosure It is destroying academic integrity
