If y'all really cared about the planet and the wellbeing of life on earth you would be campaigning against capitalism and American imperialism, not a semantically amorphous mathematical function that you can't even comprehend. AI is NOT responsible for the Holocene extinction. You should be upset about petrochemical production and the deteriorating state of the atlantic meridional overturning circulation. CORPORATE ai is merely a branch of a much bigger problem.
If you wanna look at the statistics you'll realize that streaming video including short form social media uses WAYYYY more energy than LLMs. And if you wanna look at resource consumption, gasoline and red meat are much bigger problems than any datacenter. The capitalist overlords want you arguing a brick wall position they know you can't win so they aren't threatened by actual accountability. They need you scared and angry at scapegoats so they can keep doing their thing. Please wake up
Don't be afraid to ask questions. Confusion is not a reason to be upset and downvoting. What's not clicking? You say "everyone knows what we mean by AI" but semantically that's impossible because "AI" fundamentally doesn't mean one thing. Using the term as a monolith is fundamentally discrepant. That's just a fact, because again, generative drug discovery using lab grade neural networks is very different from generative slop made with d-tier consumer grade infrastructure, despite both being "AI"
I've been studying this for longer than consumer grade AI ever existed btw. If something is not adding up, I promise you it's because you're not fully understanding what I'm getting at. You don't even seem to understand what you mean when you say "AI" so how can everyone know? That's not how human knowledge works.
