Sooo massive slop generating farms and data centers clogging up our electricity grid and destroying the air quality of whole city neighborhoods. Computers chugging fresh water like we don't have dwindling supply of it. And for what? Mass manufacturing genAI images? Making deepfakes? Why.

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.”
