Lots of people on Lemmy really dislike AI’s current implementations and use cases.

I’m trying to understand what people would want to be happening right now.

Destroy gen AI? Implement laws? Hoping all companies use it for altruistic purposes to help all of mankind?

Thanks for the discourse. Please keep it civil, but happy to be your punching bag.

    Google search currently uses 1.05GWh/day. ChatGPT currently uses 621.4MWh/day

    And oranges are orange

    It doesn’t matter what the totals are when people are talking about one or the other for a single use.

    Less people commute to work on private jets than buses, are you gonna say jets are fine and buses are the issue?

    Because that’s where your logic ends up

      My point wasn’t ‘google is more expensive than chatgpt’, it’s that ‘google is also expensive, just not as expensive as chatgpt.’ It’s probably safe to say that no one has ever just done one google search or just asked one question of chatgpt, so the one-use cost is practically irrelevant compared to the average or collective use case.
