Wrong. Slop generating and cognitive offloading is bad and even the most mundane use of local AI contributes to ecological collapse for nothing in return.
I optimize industrial robots using AI tools to analyze data, which allowed us to work far faster and improve machines we otherwise couldn't. Each optimized robot usually saves hundreds of watts 24/7 for 10-20 years to come. The optimized programs also reduce wear, sometimes extending predicted service life by multiple years. But yeah, I'm sure that contributes to ecological collapse
I don't see how offloading a task that is trivial and that I won't have much to learn out of it is "bad", in that case you shouldn't use calculators. Of course, that is different than completely letting an LLM think for you.
As for the ecological collapse, that is inherently a problem with capitalism and big tech, AI models don't decide the hardware or what power source they can be trained on.
Lose the wilful ignorance, dude
The fucking irony. I don't respect you and you will get nothing in return for your subservience, just so you know.
Subservience to what? Having basic common sense and not being drowned by hate is not subservience.
