  • Yea the comments are all as I expected them to be

  • Happy to see, Google maps I've found hard to replace. but it's a marathon not a sprint

  • You can easily replace Beef in your diet with foods that aren't as bad for the environment. It won't taste the same but so what.

    You can't cry that nobody needs AI but then in the same breath say that you can't replace beef Something 100x worse for the environment.

    Yes nobody NEEDS AI, just like nobody NEEDS beef, or to take a flight, but it's still a nice to have and useful to a lot of people.

  • There are many reasons to be Anti-AI, the biggest one for me is Privacy & Manipulation.

    But saying AI is brining the planet is BS (when you compared to other basics)

  • Read the actual article, that's my whole point. We're in somewhat of an echo chamber so people just upvote anything that says AI = BAD

    I'm against AI for privacy reasons and other reasons, but the environment argument is a joke when you consider how little of an impact it has compared to streaming YouTube etc.

  • It's already included in the 3Wh calculation

  • Fair, it's not bad in comparison with things like Beef or Streaming 4k

    But it's still bad

  • Probably still worse than a couple of AI prompts

  • Why are they nazi bar?

    Genuinely curious IDK much about them

  • So is AI useless and just a bubble that will pop, or will it explode exponentially?

    It can't be both.

    When talking about the environment people say it will explode and burn the planet, but in the same breath they will say it's useless and just a bubble

  • Beef is useful? You could just eat chicken and other meats instead. And you be saving the environment 100x more than not using AI

  • source

    We should stop watching 4k videos, it's killing the environment, it's worse than AI

  • Lemmy Shitpost @lemmy.world

    AI IS BURNING THE PLANNET!!

  • My point is that people shouting that they care about the environment, while being silent on things like beef or flights etc. are being hypocrites. I've seen many people say AI IS BURNING THE PLANNET, when that is simply not true

  • And that would still be a drop in the bucket compared to beef or taking a flight.

    You're missing my point

  • Fair, but people are shouting that AI is destroying the planet, and pretending like it's worse than cars or beef or flights.

    Which weakens actuall reasons to be anti-AI

  • Technology @lemmy.world

    Why using ChatGPT is not bad for the environment

  • Maybe they should cut down on Beef first, it uses exponentially more water than AI and CO2

    • 1 kg Beef = 60kg CO2 - source
    • 1000km Return flight = 314kg CO2 - source
    • 1 Bitcoin transaction = 645kg of CO2 - source
    • 1000 AI prompts = 3kg of CO2 - source
  • If you ever take a flight for holiday, or even drive long distance and cry about AI being bad for the environment then you're a hypocrite.

    Same goes for if you eat beef, or having a really powerful gaming rig that you use a lot.

    There are plenty of valid reasons AI is bad, but the argument for the environment seems weak, and most people using it are probably hypocrites. It's barely a drop in the bucket compared to other things

  • Fantastic

  • Atheism @lemmy.world
