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.
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
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.
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.
