  I know some and they view everyone as being unfair to them and their problems are way worse than others who don't take it seriously. It honestly hard to explain if you not like it but I know their problems and they are problems but many people have ,while not the same, similar problems. They basically want a yes man and don't like actual conversation with any critical thought behind it. It honestly annoys me because they are almost the worst to people like themselves because they view other peoples problems as not as bad and theres as especially bad.

  I have not been to a con in a long time but in my area 20 years ago there was a guy who had an incredibly complex full borg outfit. I can't remember exactly how long he said it was to put on but I know it was at least an hour but im thinking a bit more. He attached various parts to his body with stage putty type stuff.

  2 minutes for every query and im 100% not using it and I think these numbers like 2 min of biking aren't really based on anything. It will help again if the industry makes it a point to track and publish energy usage.

  see again you compare something someone might do once a day and most people do hardly ever. Using a blender. With something used many times constantly through out the day. Web searching. Even before ai datacenters were a massive use of energy. Now im not the type to say throw it all away but I will be careful in my usage till im sure its worth it. this is going to require the vendors to put out data on energy usage. Its new enough that im sure more and better chips will be able to reduce the energy it takes. You have to realize your talking to someone who walks if I can, then bikes as a second option, and finally takes public transit. I avoid driving and planes unless I absolutely have to. Im in tech so I will be using it but it will likely follow the same curve as previous technology has but maybe not given smartphones and apps would be the most recent things before ai and I use those only if I absolutely have to.

  This would not save anything as you would not use your monitor and pc 8 minutes less in that scenario. Or at least I would not. Its sorta moot as generating an email is definitely not something I would use ai for. Granted I really doubt I would spend 10 minutes on an email unless it was complicated and I was doing something else with it and keeping it open while doing something else as I put it together. Any savings would assume the ai generated email did not result in more activity than one you answered yourself. To have savings you would genuinely have to use the resource less that day or week or such.

  Yeah the thing is its not comparing each request to an airline flight its comparing each one to a web search. Its utility is not that much greater its just a convenience. Its like with bitcoin where its about energy per transaction compared to a credit card transactions. I mean I search the web everyday a whole bunch and way more when im working.

  sorry. there were two conversations and Im getting confused. Are you talking local where I don't have the overhead? Or using them online where I am worried about the energy usage?

  I mean if every web search I do is like playing a 3d game then I will stick with web searches. 3d gaming is the most energy intensive thing I do on a computer.

  I already stress my laptop with what I do so I doubt I will do that anytime soon. I tend to use pretty old hardware though. 5 year plus. honestly closer to 10.

  This is the main reason I am reticent about using ai. I can get around its funtional limitations but I need to know they have brought the energy usage down.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  There is artificial scarcity but there is also real scarcity. We do use more renewable resources per year than the earth renews and as such as we behave now we are overpopulated. Personally I like modern things and even though I reduce, reuse, recycle maximally I don't live like the amish or on a commune or such. If we did we would not be able to have our current population anyway as most of it is in cities. If we want to keep the cities then the population needs to be lower to not use more than the earth can handle. Even if people in cities lived super eco lives with what is achievable currently I doubt we could have over a billion. Keep in mind that even if we use less than the earth can renew in a year there are a variety of things we use that don't renew and that gets even more complicated.

  Its more than that. It takes the input and tries to interpret the bad grammar and sentences into search terms and finds link the correlate the highest to its interpretation and then gives back the response that summarizes the results with good grammar and plausible sentences. Again this is why I stress that you have to evaluate its response and sources. The sources are the real value in any query. Im actually not sure how much the chatbots give sources by default though as I know I have not gotten them and then asked for them and now I get them as a matter of course so im not sure if it learns that I want them or if they did a change to provide them when they had not before.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘We didn’t vote for ChatGPT’: Swedish Prime Minister under fire for using AI⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This is where you have to check out the reference links it gives as if they were search results and the less you know the more you have to do it. I mean people have been webMDing for a long time. None of these things allow folks to stop critical thinking. If anything it requires it even more. This was actually one of my things with ai and work. The idea is for it to allow people with less knowledge to do things and to me its kinda the reverse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘We didn’t vote for ChatGPT’: Swedish Prime Minister under fire for using AI⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Everyones initial use of chatbots should be on the thing they are most knowledgable about so they can get an idea of how wrong it can be and how it can be useful but you have to treat it like some eager wet behind the ears intern just did for you.

  I really don't get it. These things are brand new. How can anyone get so into these things so quickly. I don't take advice from people I barely know, much less ones that can be so easily and quickly reprogrammed.
