  • Yea the comments are all as I expected them to be

  • Happy to see, Google maps I've found hard to replace. but it's a marathon not a sprint

  • Still a drop in the bucket compared to people taking flights to go on vacation.

    If you're not angry at people taking flights, you shouldn't be angry at AI for environmental reasons.

    There are plenty of other reasons to hate AI.

  • Thanks, this is exactly my point

  • You can easily replace Beef in your diet with foods that aren't as bad for the environment. It won't taste the same but so what.

    You can't cry that nobody needs AI but then in the same breath say that you can't replace beef Something 100x worse for the environment.

    Yes nobody NEEDS AI, just like nobody NEEDS beef, or to take a flight, but it's still a nice to have and useful to a lot of people.

  • There are many reasons to be Anti-AI, the biggest one for me is Privacy & Manipulation.

    But saying AI is brining the planet is BS (when you compared to other basics)

  • Read the actual article, that's my whole point. We're in somewhat of an echo chamber so people just upvote anything that says AI = BAD

    I'm against AI for privacy reasons and other reasons, but the environment argument is a joke when you consider how little of an impact it has compared to streaming YouTube etc.

  • It's already included in the 3Wh calculation

  • Fair, it's not bad in comparison with things like Beef or Streaming 4k

    But it's still bad

  • Probably still worse than a couple of AI prompts

  • Why are they nazi bar?

    Genuinely curious IDK much about them

  • So is AI useless and just a bubble that will pop, or will it explode exponentially?

    It can't be both.

    When talking about the environment people say it will explode and burn the planet, but in the same breath they will say it's useless and just a bubble

  • Beef is useful? You could just eat chicken and other meats instead. And you be saving the environment 100x more than not using AI

  • source

    We should stop watching 4k videos, it's killing the environment, it's worse than AI

  • My point is that people shouting that they care about the environment, while being silent on things like beef or flights etc. are being hypocrites. I've seen many people say AI IS BURNING THE PLANNET, when that is simply not true

  • My sources account for the training.

    Even if you add a zero to AI's CO2 emissions and water usage, it's still a drop in the bucket compared to eating beef or taking a flight for holiday

  • This is exactly my point

  • Look at my sources, it accounts for the training of the AI etc.

  • And that would still be a drop in the bucket compared to beef or taking a flight.

    You're missing my point
