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