    Let me say this how it sounds to me:

    I couldn’t build weapons of mass destruction my whole life, I tried to build nukes several times but couldn’t. Now I have a robot that just does the nuking for me, while I can build other things. My other friends don’t seem to have a problem with the nuking, because they get to shoot their guns faster.

    I’m sorry, but just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should. I could do a lot of immoral, unethical, horrible to humanity and nature things and yet I don’t.

          Well by that logic i was destined to go to hell a long time ago when i started driving. My personal annual commute to work creates ten times co2 emissions that the entirety of the energy google used to train chatgpt.

          AI datacenters account for less than 10% global co2 emissions. Of course ten percent more global warming is bad, but i personally have several things that contribute more than using AI ten hours a week.

            Huh? Google doesn’t own ChatGPT. And no, your personal commute to work isn’t a millionth of a fraction of what is used to train these models.

            AI datacenters account for less than 10% global co2 emissions. Of course ten percent more global warming is bad, but i personally have several things that contribute more than using AI ten hours a week.

            No, no you don’t.
