If there isn't anyone to write them down, they're not getting included with the stats either.
I don't see articles complaining about the impact of data centers powering YouTube, Instagram, etc.
Which is, at least currently, orders of magnitude bigger.
Also, can we stop with the "datacenter used X amount of water"? Where do you think the water's going? It sure isn't despawning never to be seen again.
The water is used for cooling, meaning it either ends up evaporating or it ends up being released back a bit warmer.
You sound like a pretty shitty person ngl
The echo chamber of blind rage will one day be the end of lemmy
How did you manage to go even further out of context?
The governor of said state pardons for state crimes
Think the difference there is that the invoices of the guy from the article were actually fake invoices for real things
How else am I gonna have a neat.af domain tho
My point mostly was, it's a issue of datacenters, not of AI itself, and it feels like the only reason they wrote the article is to get clicks on a buzzword.
But yeah, AI will gobble up insane amounts of energy, though I think it'd be interesting to see how much it ends up saving overall.
It's not like the point of AI is to throw the output into a black hole, it's to optimize workflows.
If I spend 30 minutes writing an article or 15s writing a prompt, hasn't AI actually helped me use less energy to power my computer, my brain and body etc?
Nothing is as black and white as it might seem, and AI is no exception
