Not sure if it’s what the screenshot used (all these translator UIs look the same), but Kagi has a translator that allows putting arbitrary language in the language select box. Backed by a slop factory of course.

Fun to play around with and post screenshots I suppose, though I fail to see the use beyond that.

Can’t some things can just be… Fun? There was no “use” in Googling “do a barrel roll” or “askew” and having your webpage spin around or tilt to the side, but when silly things like that went away we all miss it.

Do a barrel roll didn’t require sucking up the sum total of human knowledge and water…

Yep, as soon as you hit enter - bam. All the water is gone. Everyone knows that! It’s why no one has actually seen any AI output yet. It’s all just forecast and predictions, because actually using it would instantly turn our world into a desert. Not even the hydrologic cycle can protect us!

As someone who thinks ai chatbots are pretty dumb and have limited use cases (more of a proof of concept technology) the water thing is kinda dumb. Like yes it uses a lot of water, but so does everything else. and its really not gonna matter if someone types in a few goofy little prompts

People are falling in love with their chatbots lol

I commented without thinking, but then realized I actually wanted to add on to this. Chatgpt offers such shallow uninteresting responses that I don’t see how anyone could have any kind of attachment to it

I do think it’s fun but I don’t see how you could get attached other than like a video game or something

Obligatory about the water

This seems misleading but even assuming 100% accuracy this would only matter if we were currently adding farmland at unprecedented rates to multiple places that cannot handle having more water being used.

This is the entire year of 2024.

Another great example comparing it to corn water intake.

A good blog post about it the other day, obviously a few caveats comparing metrics like this but it’s good enough to get a grasp that on a nation wide scale water usage isn’t really a problem. It can however affect local communities with bad data center placement (similar to agriculture) www.andymasley.com/visuals/water/

How thirsty is AI?

How much water does AI use?
