    LLMs consume vast amounts of energy and freash water and release lots of carbon. That is enough for me to not want to “play” with them.

      I have a solution its called china

      They have solar panels those neither use water nor produce co2/ch4, they can train the AI (the energy-intensive part)

      Then you download the AI from the internet and can use it 100000x and it will use less energy than a washing machine, and neither consume water nor produce co2/ch4

      That’s only because they’re implemented haphazardly to save as much as possible and produce as fast as possible and basically cut any possible corner

      And that’s only caused by the leadership of these companies. AI in general is okay. LLM’s are meh but I don’t specifically see the LLM concept as the devil the same way shovels weren’t the devil during the gold rush.
