I don't think "some kid" experiencing "great joy" at AI slop is worth the spam from scammers and environmental impacts.
Also, the majority of people using AI are not running it locally. If people were running it locally, on low power to preserve the environment, with content that artists consented to have trained, to use exclusively for non-commercial use, I wouldn't have a problem with it.
But that isn't reality.
Cars are dangerous, that's why they can only be used by licensed operators (both for safety and environmental impact), are heavily regulated, and still have problems coming from overreliance that would have been easier to solve before we built infrastructure around them.
It's why we've seen things like walkable cities and public transit come back as popular ideas.
I think you're aiming for perfect over better, and honestly I don't think you're going to make much headway in that effort, especially when you're disregarding the joy of children but you do you.
