You are not helping your cause by emo-venting here. Go back up and re-read the OP title - I’ll wait.
So long as people have anxiety over AI issues, including ethics and water usage, then the people asking questions have a firm foundation for their statements. Why not (gently) invite them in, to know what you do? Curiosity is an amazingly adaptive trait in humanity, and they might be genuinely ready to listen to a well-intentioned answer. But you are turning them away not so much with the content as the tone of your responses, essentially proving them right that pro-AI advocates froth at the mouth at how AI will overtake humans rather than use logical argumentation practices. But why put forth Musk’s words here, on the Threadiverse?
If you can keep your head while the rest of the world loses theirs…
First, read all the responses. My initial tone is fine, but like 10 different posters were foaming at the mouth saying I personally am killing people because I work in the general space. There’s no reasoning with people like that.
That might actually be true… but then you were the one who tried to do so? And now your words will echo on, years from now people can look up this old thread and see your back and forth fighting, and nothing will have changed.
Do whatever you want - I am not a moderator here, I just thought I would offer this perspective that your words might be working counter to what aim you first set out to achieve, before you got frustrated and lost your cool, and thereby your ability to influence people any further here.

ok thank you. I think you’re overthinking this
