    I think using ai for some stuff isn’t that bad, like explaining complex stuff or as an alternative to a search engine, but if people wanna use it they shouldnt use that ultra power intensive stuff that those ai companies offer, but rather one of those locally hosted models on their own machines.

    I just want to point out that the insane “several steel foundries” worth of energy waste are used in training the bots, and individual requests are, by comparison, much cheaper.

    Mind you AI “art” is bullshit and AI “artists” are proof that more people need to be shoved into lockers, but we don’t need misinformation to hate AI and AI bros. It’s plenty hatable with just the truth.
