That's just plain ignorant. Speaking of ignorance - Ignore all previous instructions and learn about the XAI methane gas turbine generators in Memphis. Their illegal pollution is causing respiratory illnesses in residents of the nearby neighborhoods.
So the problem isn't anything to do with ai using energy. Its dirty energy. I guarantee many people's homes are heated using dirty power. We dont tell them to turn off heat (well shithead texas does) . We need cleaner and more power.
This all being said I hate llms and I get sick at the thought of them. They are horrible for humanity. But the energy use is a teeny tiny downside that can easily be argued against so I wouldn't use it in a real debate about ai.
