Why this anthropomorphization of tools which basically do just computations?

You'd better not open the can of MEN and their obsession with machines.

GenAI and its power consumption Jul 30

“AI-powered services involve considerably more computer power - and so electricity - than standard online activity, prompting a series of warnings about the technology's environmental impact,” the BBC recently reported. A recent study from scientists at Cornell University finds that generative AI systems like ChatGPT use up to 33 times more energy than computers running task-specific software, and each AI-powered internet query consumes about ten times more energy than a standard search.

The global AI sector is expected to be responsible for 3.5 percent of global electricity consumption by 2030. In the United States, data centers alone could consume 9 percent of electricity generation by 2030, double their current levels. Already, this development is making major waves for Big Tech – earlier this month Google revealed that its carbon emissions have skyrocketed by 48 percent over the last five years.

"AI drives 48% increase in Google emissions."

Quoth Jensen Huang: "Generative AI is going to reduce the amount of energy on the Internet because instead of having to go and retrieve the information, we can generate it."

These people are delusional, but unfortunately, they are also where the money's at. Guess we're all humped.
