AI Vs CampMindblocks!
Public service announcement π«‘
I've seen some comments about my use of AI to create misophonia infographics, and I wanted to respond openly.
First, I understand the concerns that have been raised about the environmental impact of AI, including energy and water consumption by data centres. These are valid discussions, and I've been taking time to learn more about them. This wasn't something I was aware of.Where practical, I'm exploring alternative ways to create content that may have a lower environmental footprint.
However, I also want to explain why I've used these tools.
The reality is that social media platforms, particularly Facebook, heavily favour visual content. Posts without images or graphics often receive very little reach, regardless of how important the information is. Simply writing about misophonia is rarely enough to get the message in front of the people who need it most.
By using infographics and visual content, some of my posts have reached hundreds of thousands of peopleβaround half a million in some cases. That means more people learning that misophonia is real, more families understanding what their loved ones are experiencing, and more sufferers discovering that they are not alone.
Over the years, I've received countless messages from people saying that these posts helped them understand themselves, seek support, feel less isolated, or start conversations with family members. Some have even told me that the information shared through these graphics quite literally helped save their lives during incredibly difficult periods.
For me, the purpose has never been to create content for the sake of creating content. The goal has always been awareness, education, and support for a community that is still widely misunderstood.
While I continue to look at more environmentally conscious ways of producing content, I am also committed to doing everything I can to keep spreading awareness of misophonia. If visual content is what helps people see it, share it, understand it, and find hope through it, then I believe that work remains important.
Thank you to everyone who has engaged with, shared, and benefited from these posts. The message has always been bigger than the graphics themselves.
