  • You can easily replace Beef in your diet with foods that aren't as bad for the environment. It won't taste the same but so what.

    You can't cry that nobody needs AI but then in the same breath say that you can't replace beef Something 100x worse for the environment.

    Yes nobody NEEDS AI, just like nobody NEEDS beef, or to take a flight, but it's still a nice to have and useful to a lot of people.

  • There are many reasons to be Anti-AI, the biggest one for me is Privacy & Manipulation.

    But saying AI is brining the planet is BS (when you compared to other basics)

  • Read the actual article, that's my whole point. We're in somewhat of an echo chamber so people just upvote anything that says AI = BAD

    I'm against AI for privacy reasons and other reasons, but the environment argument is a joke when you consider how little of an impact it has compared to streaming YouTube etc.

  • It's already included in the 3Wh calculation

  • Fair, it's not bad in comparison with things like Beef or Streaming 4k

    But it's still bad

  • Beef is useful? You could just eat chicken and other meats instead. And you be saving the environment 100x more than not using AI

  • My point is that people shouting that they care about the environment, while being silent on things like beef or flights etc. are being hypocrites. I've seen many people say AI IS BURNING THE PLANNET, when that is simply not true

  • And that would still be a drop in the bucket compared to beef or taking a flight.

    You're missing my point

  • Fair, but people are shouting that AI is destroying the planet, and pretending like it's worse than cars or beef or flights.

    Which weakens actuall reasons to be anti-AI

  • Technology @lemmy.world

    Why using ChatGPT is not bad for the environment

  • Fantastic

  • Technology @lemmy.world

    FairPhone AMA

  • Wikipedia is pretty reliable. It's not perfect but for most things it does the job, and is up to date.

  • For most things is much quicker to just use the Internet

  • I hope to see people like Lewis Rossmann erc. Start posting there

  • Using a barcode username is nice for being anonymous

    Eg.

    IlIIIllIIl

    It's a combination of lower case L and upper case I

  • Fedibridge @lemmy.dbzer0.com

    The Buy-European movement is bringing people to Lemmy

  • Germany?

  • I'd also like to know

  • I had a look at voyager, and it's UX is perfect for new users. It would be great to get the web to that point https://photon.lemmy.world seems quite good, maybe that should be default.

  • Yes it does depend on the front end.

    But that's the thing its not the default front end.

    Most users will give up before discovering Photon.

    The default experience should be very smooth and require little to no effort and thinking. Like what everyone has gotten used to

  • This will keep happening until Lemmy etc. Have good UX

    For the vast majority of users the UX just sucks for most of the fediverse

    We need to push for or fund better UX

  • What app do you use?
