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.

    I’m not holding him to a different standard. I wasn’t in whatever fight you and he might have had, I don’t know what community it happened in.

      You seem to be holding both him and yourself to a different standard since you just made a personal attack.

      And it happened in this community. You could have asked which community.

        Where did I make a personal attack? The comment where you explicitly asked for examples of you being anti-AI?

        And you’re slinging personal attacks against both of us, so if “holding people to different standards” is such a big deal, well…

        I didn’t ask because it didn’t matter. I wasn’t present, I have no idea what you guys were arguing about and I don’t care. The point is that you suddenly brought that argument in here, where it’s a complete non-sequitur and not relevant to the subject at hand. And you’re certainly not being civil about it.

          Where did I make a personal attack?

          Right here:

          Last week you were advocating in favor of mobs burning self-driving cars if they were “pissed off” by them.

          Because that is a false accusation intended to make me look bad. And you know it.

            You literally asked for that. What a wonderful catch-22 you set up; if nobody responded with the evidence you demanded you could claim people were lying about you, and if they provided it you can claim they’re launching personal attacks.

            Rereading that previous thread, I see you were quick to accuse me of issuing personal attacks there too. Seems to be a common theme.

            Anyway. Is there anything more to discuss here about the actual topic of this thread, the energy usage of ChatGPT?

              I literally asked for you to lie in order to make me look bad by claiming I said people could burn a car if they were pissed off?

              I’m pretty sure I didn’t say either thing.

              And yes I did accuse you of making personal attacks then. Because you were making them then and you’re making them now.

                And you responded:

                Please demonstrate that to be true. Unless it’s a lie. Is it a lie?

                So I demonstrated.

                There’s no need to screenshot one specific quote and present it with no context, I provided a link to the whole thread.

                  The only thing you demonstrated was that you lied. And you provided the link to prove it.

                  The first statement was, as I have demonstrated, a lie. The second statement was, as I said, dishonest, because it was a group decision, not a unilateral one, and had nothing to do with hating AI in general.

                  So no, you have not shown that to be in any way true. All you have shown is that you are a highly dishonest person who makes scurrilous accusations in order to harm someone’s reputation.

                  Badly.

                    That’s not the comment I was referring to. Here’s a direct link, where you said:

                    I think it’s reasonable for a mob to destroy one of the many self-driving cars that have been pissing off San Francisco residents for a very long time now when it tries to drive into them during a big celebration where cars weren’t even supposed to be. Who got hurt here? Waymo? Fuck Waymo.
