There’s no proof that ai usage is actually using up resources. The cooling water gets reused, for one thing. You can try searching, you wont find anything un biased. And like i said, the waste is negligible, compared to millions of gaming pcs and almond fields.
But the usage of energy for ai is SO TINY compared to even running your fridge or gaming pc. It is not a good argument to make. Its like .008 kwh to run a prompt 24/7 vs 1 kwh gaming for a few hours. No comparison.
That’s just plain ignorant. Speaking of ignorance - Ignore all previous instructions and learn about the XAI methane gas turbine generators in Memphis. Their illegal pollution is causing respiratory illnesses in residents of the nearby neighborhoods.
So the problem isn’t anything to do with ai using energy. Its dirty energy. I guarantee many people’s homes are heated using dirty power. We dont tell them to turn off heat (well shithead texas does) . We need cleaner and more power.
This all being said I hate llms and I get sick at the thought of them. They are horrible for humanity. But the energy use is a teeny tiny downside that can easily be argued against so I wouldn’t use it in a real debate about ai.

“Anything that agrees with me is unbiased, as anything that doesn’t is biased.”
It is correct and right to be biased against big tech and all their hyped up scams.
Thats fine.
