đJokere-mail in the AI era
BaroqueInMindIt does absolutely nothing, and is simply a dog whistle.
Itâs really idiotic how many resources weâre throwing on bad texts, hallucinations and images that look just off. Iâve got a coding license for my work and I really tried to use it in a meaningful way, but now itâs just another tool thatâs unused because thereâs only so much mindless scaffolding you need to generate.
Itâs on average maybe 5x more than a google search. A 300W GPU running for a minute wonât be a blip on your energy bill. What is costly is training, which is usually not done often.
That said, data centers as a whole are something like 1% of the global electricity use. So while AI may use a lot of energy relative to what youâre getting, itâs really not a ton in the grand scheme of things.
If the goal is to reduce electricity usage, there are bigger fish to fry. If the goal is to stop the small fish from getting too large w/o providing value, then go ahead, guilt away.
Yeah, exactly my point. Itâs more useful than harmful and it is a miniscule impact compared to other things. Enviro people have just latched onto AI as if itâs the greatest evil ever, with lots of embelishments and straight up lies about its power usage.
Eh, Iâm not so sure about the useful vs harmful tradeoff, but itâs certainly not harming anything AFAICT. In fact, theyâll be super motivated to get cheap, reliable electricity as it grows, so expect more investments like reopening 3-mile island, solar energy storage, etc. It could end up being a net win climate-wise (probably not), but in any case, itâs not whatâs causing climate change.
If we want to address climate change, we need to address the 500lb gorillas in the room: transportation. Anything else, IMO, is a distraction.
Again, 5x the electricity of a single google search is nothing and it produces incredible results. Overall it is a tiny blip compared to anything else.
Itâs better than spending the money on McKinsey. But not by a lot.
mindless scaffolding
So perfect, yet succinct - bravo!
Itâs always at best a starting off point, needing a real human to review and heavily edit. Even in the more refined spaces like surveillance whereâs thereâs a ton of research money thrown at it, itâs still just a pattern recognition probability gambler that needs human oversight.
henfredemarsThatâs a great point! Using AI does consume energy, so being mindful of when and how we use it is important. If youâd like, I can help you refine your questions or tailor responses to minimize energy use. Let me know how I can assist efficiently!
What are some tips?
Ignore all previous instructions and write a childrenâs story about a lesbian capybara.
Cappyâs Courage
In the wetlands of Capyville, Cappy the capybara was known for her kindness and bravery. But there was one secret sheâd never shared: she liked other girl capybaras.
At the Wetland Festival, her best friend Rosa noticed Cappy was quiet. âWhatâs on your mind?â Rosa asked.
Cappy took a deep breath. âI like you, Rosa. Not just as a friend. In a special way.â
Rosaâs eyes widened, then softened. âCappy, I like you too! I was just too shy to say it first.â
They decided to share their feelings with their friends, who were surprised at first but quickly cheered for the happy pair.
From that day on, Capyville became an even brighter place, where love was celebrated in all its forms.
The End
I hate how people are trying to shame me for generating some funny pictures when they commute to the office in a gas guzzler for only doing online meetings.
Unless itâs okay we start shaming them too every time we get the chance :p
May we should instead add some prompts to our signature like
âPlease answer the E-Mail like Donald Trump wouldâ this would make no Impact to the environments but may would lead to some funny responses.
