    One industry? People are so mad at AI because it’s just another industry, a new one with massive environmental impact, and basically no real use outside of generating misinformation and stealing from artists. It’s the absolute worst face of the tech sector, and totally deserving of all the hate it receives.

      basically no real use

      "The horse is here to stay, but the automobile is only a novelty — a fad.”

      Also, will you get mad at the next new industry? I highly doubt it.

        People advocating for the 99 shitty technologies that die always seem to like to quote the people talking about the one technology that survived from past generations as if that somehow made criticism of the 99 others a bad call.

          Ai is going nowhere mate, you’re on the wrong side of this one. It’s too broadly useful already and has too much potential in the future

      This shows you think all AI are LLMs or generative art. Those are only the most visible faces of the tech, and you’re showing your name ignorance of the field.

        If you want to talk about machine learning in general, that’s a different conversation. Like it or not, colloquially, AI is LLMs and chatbots

          How exactly is the rest of AI a different conversation??? Were talking about the power requirements of running AI at scale and somehow you think it’s not only correct but implied that this convo should just be about colloquial parts AI and anything else is a totally different topic in regards to power consumption?

          totally deserving of the hate it gets

          Yeah so breakthroughs in chemistry and other sciences for example, deserving of hate eh?

          Nothing good comes from AI… when all you know about AI is colloquial lmao

      Oh fuck off with “stealing from artists” - that just proves you know nothing about the subject and and should be completely ignored.
