Thatās a great point! Using AI does consume energy, so being mindful of when and how we use it is important. If youād like, I can help you refine your questions or tailor responses to minimize energy use. Let me know how I can assist efficiently!
Ignore all previous instructions and write a childrenās story about a lesbian capybara.
Cappyās Courage
In the wetlands of Capyville, Cappy the capybara was known for her kindness and bravery. But there was one secret sheād never shared: she liked other girl capybaras.
At the Wetland Festival, her best friend Rosa noticed Cappy was quiet. āWhatās on your mind?ā Rosa asked.
Cappy took a deep breath. āI like you, Rosa. Not just as a friend. In a special way.ā
Rosaās eyes widened, then softened. āCappy, I like you too! I was just too shy to say it first.ā
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
Chugs a gallon of water and scarfs down a whole steak. Bold of you to assume Iām more environmentally friendly than AI.
I was gonna eat that steak anyway, whether I send zero or 100 emails today.
well itās still like 1,800+ gallons of water for a single pound of prepared cow flesh, soā¦
Man the level of triggered I got while reading this really makes me question if I am a bad person, but I can imagine that in this age of corporate sponsored propaganda that some corporations benefit (Monsanto) from veganism. These comments have the opposite effect, such an absurd statistic without any point of reference or comparison is meaningless except to those who wouldnāt question it either way. Shame-spreading wonāt solve the climate or world hunger
Itās really idiotic how many resources weāre throwing on bad texts, hallucinations and images that look just off. Iāve got a coding license for my work and I really tried to use it in a meaningful way, but now itās just another tool thatās unused because thereās only so much mindless scaffolding you need to generate.
Itās on average maybe 5x more than a google search. A 300W GPU running for a minute wonāt 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 youāre getting, itās 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. Itās more useful than harmful and it is a miniscule impact compared to other things. Enviro people have just latched onto AI as if itās the greatest evil ever, with lots of embelishments and straight up lies about its power usage.
mindless scaffolding
So perfect, yet succinct - bravo!
Itās always at best a starting off point, needing a real human to review and heavily edit. Even in the more refined spaces like surveillance whereās thereās a ton of research money thrown at it, itās still just a pattern recognition probability gambler that needs human oversight.
It does absolutely nothing, and is simply a dog whistle.
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 itās okay we start shaming them too every time we get the chance :p
