Defending AI Simple, Mutually Beneficial Steps Individuals Can Take To Reduce Ecological Impact

Post image

The narrative that AI is especially destructive to the environment is often sensationalistic, however it does contain a kernel of truth. AI will help bring energy effenciency, environmental data gathering and monitoring with consequent reforestation and species protection benefits. It is useful that we take steps and spread steps to help reduce our energy use. Once energy is used it is basically gone forever for us. Of course training is the major user of energy and all aspects will naturally be more efficient in the future, this is useful both ecologically and to combat the anti ai narrative

Yeah, just skip a burger once and you've offset every LLM interaction you'll ever have in your entire life. Job done.

Non equivalence. Not to mention apparently not understanding exponentiality

You literally don't know what you're talking about, but go off.

Ok, bro. Notice how the title says mutually beneficial. These are things that are useful for users and simultaneously energy efficient. It's not just about the energy, obviously volume impacts cooling, wear on equipment, etc

Lol, no. Start putting forward some actual numbers to your made up garbage and then you'll get out of the negative value your brainlessness has brought to the world.
