    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.

          Lmao. But ya true, it’s not fair to consider all LLM use equally.

          Although I’ve made gpt write nonsense poem for me, most of my prompts are work related that saves me countless hours.

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

        Honestly it is makes the problem a little worse. It is far from the cause. You can run AI on clean power.

          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.
