We're literally cooking the planet for the power, required by those data centers and people use it to ask it to LOOK UP THE WEATHER!! We're so screwed *le sigh*

But the AI processes the Weather report to spit it out based on your promt in a little different wording. Like, just open your danm weather app, put a widget on your home screen or whatever and check yourself. You do not need AI for that lmao.

You completely ignore the fact that the weather forecasts are generated basing on estimations and input data, which also get processed by servers in datacenters. Not to forget that all AI queries on the world together still don't add up to what all average households combined use. So before refusing to see an AI as an useful tool, you perhaps should consider that you're actually more burning the world down with your dish washer and oven. Not to mention that your typical Google search or website visit also consumes energy. Just think of all the trackers and statistics that are being collected every time again you visit them. Fortnite? Millions of people waste server resources and energy, one could argue. And that with every single game. GTA, Minecraft, Github. Cryptocurrency? Discord?
By the way, I used AI to actually help me find my notes in previous chats about usage and consumtion patterns and to fact-check this properly. 🙂

It's so incredibly useless. I ask it to open an app, or skip music, you know, what a voice assistant on your phone is supposed to do, and it goes like, uh, I can't do that on your phone yet. Thanks Google for forcing this trash on us, where was the problem with the Google Assistant in the 1st place?

I think that AI will become less power-hungry over time and handle resources more efficiently. At least I hope so 🫤

I know someone who runs their own AS with several virtual routers and real hardware 😉
