Glad to see someone refute the AI water argument, I'm sick of that one. But I do not see how the displacement argument fits. Maybe you can elaborate but I don't see how we can compare AI usage to watching Netflix for any length of time. I can't see a situation where someone would substitute watching stranger things for asking chatGPT questions?
The writing and illustrating activities use less energy, but the people out there using AI to generate ten novels and covers and fire them into the kindle store would not have written ten novels, so this is not displacement either
Well the point was that chatgpt doesn't use so much energy. I thought we were comparing similar activities. If we're just going to list things a bored kid can do instead of watch Netflix we'll be here all day, and most of them use less electricity than chatGPT.
