That’s a great point! Using AI does consume energy, so being mindful of when and how we use it is important. If you’d like, I can help you refine your questions or tailor responses to minimize energy use. Let me know how I can assist efficiently!

What are some tips?
Chugs a gallon of water and scarfs down a whole steak. Bold of you to assume I’m more environmentally friendly than AI.
I was gonna eat that steak anyway, whether I send zero or 100 emails today.
well it’s still like 1,800+ gallons of water for a single pound of prepared cow flesh, so…
this is probably not true
Man the level of triggered I got while reading this really makes me question if I am a bad person, but I can imagine that in this age of corporate sponsored propaganda that some corporations benefit (Monsanto) from veganism. These comments have the opposite effect, such an absurd statistic without any point of reference or comparison is meaningless except to those who wouldn’t question it either way. Shame-spreading won’t solve the climate or world hunger
It doesn’t seem like their point was to trigger? Unless you’re triggered by the word flesh?
I’m not a vegan/vegetarian. But I recognize from a purely thermodynamics perspective that meat is less efficient than a plant based diet. They’re efficiency losses for feeding plants to another organism instead of just eating those plants directly.
Before agriculture, meat was basically required for humans. Let wild animals consume inedible plants and then hunt using very little of your own resources. Now that equation has been inverted since we control the entire chain of resources.
You can be mindful of environmental issues and efficiency without taking a moral stance on meat eating. There’s really no easy answer, it’s very complex. Pollution, water use, land use, pesticides, nutrition, etc are all factors.
wow, you brought a lot of your own stuff to my comment.
gallon of water
Am… Am I not supposed to be drinking water now?
It’s a reference to how generative AI uses huge amounts of water.
Ahhh, okay. I really thought I’d missed a memo and the water wars were upon us
It’s really idiotic how many resources we’re throwing on bad texts, hallucinations and images that look just off. I’ve got a coding license for my work and I really tried to use it in a meaningful way, but now it’s just another tool that’s unused because there’s only so much mindless scaffolding you need to generate.
mindless scaffolding
So perfect, yet succinct - bravo!
It’s always at best a starting off point, needing a real human to review and heavily edit. Even in the more refined spaces like surveillance where’s there’s a ton of research money thrown at it, it’s still just a pattern recognition probability gambler that needs human oversight.
It’s better than spending the money on McKinsey. But not by a lot.
It does absolutely nothing, and is simply a dog whistle.
May we should instead add some prompts to our signature like “Please answer the E-Mail like Donald Trump would” this would make no Impact to the environments but may would lead to some funny responses.
I hate how people are trying to shame me for generating some funny pictures when they commute to the office in a gas guzzler for only doing online meetings.
Unless it’s okay we start shaming them too every time we get the chance :p
