Look, you can't count the carbon emissions that people have for (check notes) existing as the "carbon cost" of the work that they do.

I can't believe this needs to be said, but: LLMs are *optional*. Humans are not.

And here's a new twist on "we used ChatGPT to write our paper". Of course.

@grebmar @emilymbender it'd be ironic if all this text had been generated by chatGPT and there wasn't actually any checks

@emilymbender I hope this gets so rejected and slapped (and ML/LLM (so-called "AI") is everything but environmental/responsible/…)

@emilymbender "environmentally sound decision"? I'd love to see their model. Then again, maybe it's just the usual transhumanism.

@emilymbender 😭

this is ... so bad it's hard to believe it's not parody.

I remember writing parodies of world-destroying-tech in the form of papers, but it was a simpler time (2005)

@emilymbender Honestly, they could have rephrased that as "we used ChatGPT to make writing the paper both longer and more work-intensive."
