The biggest problem about AI is not intrinsic to AI. It’s to do with the fact that it’s owned by the same few people, and I have less and less interest in what those people think, and more and more criticisms of what the effect of their work has been.

No. It's one of the many, many problems, even if it wasn't shovelling money into rich wide dude's mouths and trained on stolen data, it would still use absurd amounts of energy, could be used for propaganda / further eradicate what is true, make creative people loose their jobs, make normal people rely on machines that sell hallucinations for facts etc. etc. This shit is mostly terrible.

They don't even use absurd amounts of energy. I literally have one running on my computer at home

The training does and using it does as well if everybody does it all day everyday. Things add up.

Yep, I can generate a bunch of funny pictures on Stable Diffusion in a couple of minutes.
