First-of-its-kind US bill would address the environmental costs of the technology, but there’s a long way to go.

one assessment suggests that ChatGPT, the chatbot created by OpenAI in San Francisco, California, is already consuming the energy of 33,000 homes. It’s estimated that a search driven by generative AI uses four to five times the energy of a conventional web search. Within years, large AI systems are likely to need as much energy as entire nations.

    Is it a lie?

    Yes it is.

    And none of this is personal, by the way.

    Apart from when you decided to lie about me instead of asking what I thought.

    I’d call this pretty damn personal-

    This isn’t about the energy or water. This is about you hate AI and any angle you can find to attack it is good. Seems disingenuous to me. But also a waste of time because you don’t actually want to hear energy solutions, you just want to stop AI.

    And also a lie.

    Let’s see if you will admit that it was both a personal attack and a lie.

    I don’t hold out much hope.
