Do something useful
What do you mean, that using ChatGPT for a recipe for eggs, sunny side up without any seasoning or toppings and burning up the electricity of a moderate household for a week with my query isn’t useful?
It’s not the query that burns through electricity like crazy, it’s training the models.
You can run a query yourself at home with a desktop computer, as long as it has enough RAM and compute cells to support the model you’re using (think a few high-end GPUs).
Training a model requires a huge pile of computer power though, and the AI companies are constantly scraping the internet to stealfind more training material
Dunno if that’s true or not. Generally, much more compute is used in inference than training, since you only train once, then use that model for millions of queries or whatever. However, some of these AI companies may be training many models constantly to one-up each-other and pump their stock; dunno. The “thinking” model paradigm is also transferring a lot more compute to inference. IIRC OpenAI spent $300k of compute just for inference to complete a single benchmark a few months ago (and found that, like training, exponentially increasing amounts of compute are needed for small gains in performance).
The number of adults I know who ask ChatGPT for recipes is non-zero.
Teenagers use it like it’s a search engine. They don’t understand the difference.

No. No, it really doesn’t.
I want a vegan recipe that uses turbinado sugar. I get 3 articles and only one of them is a recipe. If I don’t like that recipe…too bad. That’s what they have.
