Comment on Ask HN: Anyone else tired of AI being forced on you?

Comments

AI uses 10x the energy (and thus 10x carbon emissions) as search

This says more that search takes almost no energy than it does about the huge environmental toll of AI.

In this day and age when “but the environment!” Is one of your key arguments, you’ve already lost. The environment is cooked and nobody cares. People (in the societal sense) say they care but every action they take says the opposite.
