Comment on 77% Of Employees Report AI Has Increased Workloads And Hampered Productivity, Study Finds

Not being able to use your own words to explain something to me and having the thing that is an ecological disaster that also lies all the time explain it to me instead really only reinforces my point that there’s no reason to like this technology.

It is my own words. Wrote out the whole thing but I was never good with grammar and fully admit that often what I write is confusing or ambiguous. I can leverage chatgpt same way I would leverage spell check in word. I don’t see any problems there.

  Ok, let’s look at your own words then:
  
  I heard a large AI model is equivalent to the emissions from five cars over its lifetime.
  
  Cool, I hear lots of things. Where’s the evidence?
  
  So, absent of AI, it’s not like we’re up in arms about the waste and usage from other technologies. AI is being singled out—it’s the star of the show right now.
  
  Who is we? I am not happy about any of it, but especially when it is something not especially useful (you could have used spelling and grammar checkers that have predated AI by many years but you decided to waste water).
  
  And I don’t really care about the potential of an orphan-crushing machine as long as we let it keep crushing orphans.
  
  I love this last part the best though:
  
  Sure, it consumes energy and has costs
  
  We can just forget about these because you didn’t want to use standard grammar and spellcheckers and they have the potential to do a bunch of things they can’t do. Awesome. Totally worth the end of civilization.

    It’s not crushing orphans. It’s solving advanced problems that human brains are not able to and reducing the time between discoveries but also just being fun to play with and helps everyone access tools that just speeds everything up and only going to get better.
    
    Does more than spell checking, not a sound argument.
    
    Everything in life will have a cost. We have to weight the benefits against the cost. AI is potentially the greatest benefit we could see in our lifetime.

    That is training, not use. You are being dishonest.
