      lol please, go research something before you make any claims on it. No I’m not talking about datacenters fucking over the water supply or using fossil fuels, that’s bad obviously. Literally right now go google “AI used in climate science”. Just go do it. You’ll learn.

        Are we talking about machine learning which has been around for a decade or generative AI? People usually mean the latter. Machine learning isn’t what caused the AI craze.

        I honestly am curious in how an LLM could improve the climate in anyway.

        And imo leaving the datacenters out is kind of a bad faith argument, it’s the only reason why it’s everywhere. It wouldn’t be a problem if it was basically a new computation tool used by niche professions.

          I know I’m being pedantic, but machine learning has been around for many decades

            That is not how socializing on the internet works. You make the claim, you back it up or be discredited for inconsideration
