I think the real question is what is the value we are getting out of the resources used? Do we need AI forced into every platform? Personally, I don’t think so. But just to be sure I asked Chat GPT and here is its answer:

“Rather than integrating Al into every possible application, a more measured approach might be beneficial. Assessing the actual need and impact of Al in specific use cases can help avoid unnecessary energy consumption. Al should be implemented where it provides significant benefits and improvements, rather than as a default addition to every platform.”

So even the AI itself knows it is used frivolously.

Yep yep, same. Old droves get destroyed. My word that I’ll wipe the drive is apparently not enough.

I also work in a data center, I can’t take anything :(

That’s quite a claim to make without a source?

*It’s a wonder the rest of Lemmy hates this instance, y’all are insane.

How much energy is used by our current financial system? How much energy is consumed serving ads to every human on every platform every second of every day?? No one ever questions that totally necessary use of our limited resources 🙄

Edit: Didn’t realize you guys like ads.and the federal reserve so much. That’s gonna be a pretty major Yikes from me, Bros.
