The irony of using AI to make this image...
Humanity really is a lost cause
Training is expensive. Inference probably cost less than the mushy straw.
Do not patronize these systems, regardless of how small you think your individual impact might be. User counts are used to justify continued investments in these things.
I mean they use electricity, you want to advocate for more renewables in your energy mix locally then it doesn't matter that they use lots of it because it's renewable anyway
for example mistral is french: https://chat.mistral.ai/chat

And how much co2 does it output? hardly any because France has tons of nuclear power plants:
https://app.electricitymaps.com/map/72h/hourly
It does, it always does. There's for one grey energy, and more importantly this energy can't be used somewhere else where otherwise fossil fuels were used. We should always be efficient with our energy use...
You think all nuclear power plants and renewables are running at max capacity all the time?
Then we need to use it, there's a high demand for hydrogen (not for electricity) for instance, so excess energy should just either be stored or converted to H.
Right so France will probably export less electricity to Germany. Germany will . . . a) use less power b) burn more coal/gas
OK so lets invent option c) where we get Germany build some more nukes. Fine in 20 years time they might have 3-4GW of new nuke capacity, but in the meanwhile . . . there will have been several new data centres built in that time, and millions of houses in the UK will have started using aircon . . . and . . . we'll be getting pretty close to 500ppm global carbon dioxide anyway.

If you're going to keep having more people, and people are going to keep buying the same or more stuff each, this line will keep going up.
Germany is an interesting choice, since they shut down their nukes they've been pushing hard on renewables

That's true but you have to remember the EU and US are on the downtrend:
There are other countries wiping out those gains, but the west is overall doing the right thing:
We want electricity heavy industries to operate in clean energy heavy environments, this is a positive, it supports the expansion of renewables and the economy

Edit : My bad, some obvious AI artifacts
Insane that people can't tell this is a low effort Photoshop and think it's AI. Look it's literally a picture of a cropped cruise ship overlapped with a plane. It's 5min of Gimp
You can see all kinds of typical AI artifacts
Yeah you are right. Didn't notice the wrong wings. I was looking at the fact it managed to make an entire cruise ship look normal as evidence it was photoshop.
yeah at first glance i thought photoshop; but what human'd spend the time to photoshop that right most engine into the wrong place and make the wing wavy told Maybe this is AI being told to draw an image "in the style of a bad photoshop job".
Meanwhile billionaires create thousands of AI memes a day and you say nothing.
Says who? I give all my billionaire best friends shit every day.
Wrong! I whisper ‘aw beans’ under my breath every time it happens.
