Good to hear AI will help me reduce my carbon footprint, as I've been running my microwave for 19 hours a day for the last three years and have yet to receive a single video of a dog speaking Spanish.

So…about AI’s energy use…
“…to create a five-second video, a newer AI model uses ‘about 3.4 million joules, more than 700 times the energy required to generate a high-quality image’. That's the equivalent of running a microwave for over an hour.”

It might be cursed in just the right way
One crypto coin takes the
equivalent of a ‘74 Buick Roadmaster idling in your driveway for 23 hours then shitting out a completed Sudoku.
Tell us about that energy use?
It will work out economically, just don’t put any aspirational eggs in that AI basket just yet.
Which seems problematic.
Like saying COVID was a really bad flu.
1 hour of microwave is 100 hours of having a lightbulb on.
