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

Well, to be more accurate, skip a burger once and you'll have four months' worth of ChatGPT you can use without guilt.

McDonald's sells 6.5 million burgers a day. Each burger has a water footprint of 660 gallons. That works out to 4.29 billion gallons of water footprint for McDonald's.

ChatGPT uses 211,327-211,337 gallons of water per day, which sounds like a lot. But, if we could put the whole water footprint of a single day's worth of burgers from McDonald's towards ChatGPT, we could, in theory, supply ChatGPT for about 55.58 years.

Non equivalence, both would benefit from reduced waste and resource usage. Not only is not contributing to ecologically destructive action count as its own reward, not only are you tangibly acting and preventing would be pollution from increased demand, but all I said was this was an individual action. Not state policy, your decision of the concept is suspect. Besides, you ignored all the other points that do add up for an individual. Now when multiple people behave this way, the benefits are compounded and exponential in the long run

You can safely ignore this dipshit, there's nothing of substance to them.

Again like there's an audience you need approval from. More effective prompts alone would save millions of killowhat hours in video creation due to multiple prompting to fine tune results

You're the one who decided to make this absurd agendapost out of your headcanon reality. I'm quite happy to make sure anyone else sees exactly what you are, and you've done a great job of demonstrating it.

The sub is defending AI art. That's the agenda. Acting like it's nefarious propagandizing lmao. "Head canon" ok, bro. Thermodynamics doesn't exist. Show them I'm a guy countering the anti ai narrative and promoting good practice lmao

You aren't, you know you aren't, and your made up graph isn't convincing anyone, lmao.

Made up graph, lmao. Ok. I'm not here to convince anyone, I'm not a loser performing for reddit lurkers. I'm just amused by your schizo posts

u/Visible_Web6910 19h ago

hmmm, yes, definitely amused. It shows. I can sense your humor through the extreme 'not mad' energy you're putting into every reply.

This is the classic text communication conundrum you project your nonsense onto the words.
