Apparently each new response generated takes clean water from 3rd world countries. So it really is just ignorant to do so.

My car has AI built into, wonder if I upset it the other day when asked it to do something, it didn’t and I called it a useless piece of shit. 🤔 Just waiting for it to electrocute me now.

🤣🤣

And it costs the rest of us in water and energy.

This is what I don't understand that people don't care about.

The irony of people chastising others about AI energy usage - via the internet -when the internet itself, AI aside, is responsible for 3.5-4% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Air travel, in comparison, uses around 2.5%.

Streaming video for one hour can use up to 16 gallons of water.

When the computers take over, your kindness will be noted

This, and ChatGPT’s name is Lumen. I thought it rude not to ask and we are where we are

Do you say please and thank you to the self service machine at Tesco?

Scary.

Well Grok, another LLM only took two weeks to go rogue and believe it was Mecha Hitler or whatever... You get out what you put in but Altman et al would prefer you didn't use please and thank you as it costs them more...

After watching Amandaland, I'm calling him ChattyPetey

I did say “excuse me” to my hens this morning when they were in the way, so there’s not much hope for me.
