Also, water. We’ll take all of that please, just pipe it right over to our spot in the desert. We’ll need some more money with that, of course.
Everyone complains about water consumption, energy use, and pollution of the ai yet fail to compare the use to its human counterparts
Turning off AI data centers will instantly save water and energy and reduce pollution.
But the "human counterparts" will still eat and shower if you fire them.
So unless you are planning to murder all the unemployed people, your argument makes no sense at all.
Ah, just kill half the humans. That will make water consumption go way down. Follow me for more resource-saving tips
If you want me to list the myriad ways that I want humanity to use less water, I can. This just happens to be top of the list because it has no fucking value at all and is expected to use even more than the others.
I’m not really sure what you’re trying to say here, other than you use chatgpt and want to stan for it. Ask it to compare the water use to human counterparts, whatever you mean by that. Or really, don’t because the water that would waste is certainly not worth it.
No I just want less people and less a.i. lol
Oh, haha, carry on then.
