They haven’t even figured out how out make profit off of it, let alone maximize it. I really don’t understand the current approach. “Let’s slam this unfathomably expensive technology into everything and not turn a profit. Oh, also, it’s destroying the environment and making electronics and power really expensive”
People need to explain in clear detail to others the environmental impact of ai and how it causes that impact. You’re telling people that making a funny photo is fucking up the environment, you have to be more clear.
Im not a dummy but the idea that ai is damaging the actual environment is vague and nebulous. It’s never been explained or shown to people in large way how it’s actually happening, so it’s not real to people because it’s not widely explained
The thing is that image generators aren’t even such big environmental hazards. They are often comparable to other activities like gaming, since you can often run them locally. At scale that’s also a bad thing to have, but we don’t get people up in arms about many equivalent things.
It’s the biggest LLMs that are extraordinarily inefficient, since you need entire compute clusters to get those running. There’s just not really a way to put every AI tech into the same box except by not caring about the truth, so it makes the people that don’t draw that nuance look very scummy to people aware of that nuance.
