It hurts my heart to see generative AI being pushed so fervently and adopted without a second thought, not because of copyright or artistic integrity but because it feels like the environmental impacts so rarely even enter into the discussion. I basically have a lot about AI I just needed to get off my chest. I try to center around the environmental discussion while also acknowledging the need for disability activism.
I'll be honest that I haven't done a lot of in-depth reading on the subject because frankly it makes me sad. But here's a few things I reference:
Energy consumption of AI: technologyreview.com/2023/12/01/1084189/making-an-image-with-generative-ai-uses-as-much-energy-as-charging-your-phone
One bottle of water: sciencepieces.com/2024/09/28/an-ai-100-words-e-mail-costs-a-bottle-of-water
Google's AI emissions: cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/googles-ai-push-puts-climate-goals-in-jeopardy-it-could-do-so-much-better
I'm not interested in debating.
