I swear 50% of Mastodon’s feed is just people having mass hysteria about AI and not understanding how any of it works
Also constantly getting baited about how AI is definitely the reason global warming is happening despite, you know, waves to virtually everything running on fossil fuels

To be fair the cost benefit ratio of llms is way out of whack. It’s even behind outdoor heating in bars.
It’s the same as my enjoyment of video games, 3D modeling, or video editing - my gpu spins up for a few minutes.

Ummm, obviously exaggerated but still true, and yeah the fossil fuels are the cause of climate change but AI is driving up the usage.

But they aren’t running it on clean power? And so it is a massive contributor?
That’s like saying it’s fine to waste food because it can theoretically be grown sustainably, even when the food you’re wasting wasn’t.
