    It’s an opinion, but it’s hardly valid. It’s a knee-jerk fear reaction to something new.

    People had the same opinion about computers, cellphones, even electricity…

      Well, if someone questioned the environmental consequences of combustion engines a hundred years ago, they would be laughed of, but decades later we came to the conclusion that they’re terrible to tbe environment. Jumping on new things without pondering the consequences, like we mostly do as a society, isn’t very different from fearing everything new. I think it’s a good thing to have some caution and discuss the possible consequences of generative ai. I would prefer more data and less sentiment, though.

        VALID - (of an argument or point) having a sound basis in logic or fact; reasonable or cogent.

        No, not all opinions are valid.

            You can have an opinion that is grounded in basis of logic or fact.

            In my opinion, the sunset appears pinky/purple. The basic foundation of this opinion (which others may disagree with due to slight variations in atmospheric conditions) is still rooted in fact. Someone else may think it looks red/purple. Both are basically correct, reasonably speaking.
