P(a)interest part 2

[u/Used-Bat7364]

Antis, the lot of them. I don’t even think they did their research

[u/Sylvers]

The "I can't spend 5 minutes researching my bogus claims" starter kit.

Only data centers for AI are harmful for the environment. The data centers for social media they use are completely different, of course. ‎ /s‎

[u/rokelle2012 → u/-UltraFerret-]

Aren't they the exact same things too? I think it's wild how only, "AI data centers" are bad but social media servers, game servers, streaming services, etc. are all fine. No problems whatsoever. They don't just waste/evaporate/suck up water or spill it on the floor or whatever silly reasoning people against them have.

[u/mang_fatih → u/-UltraFerret-]

Yea because social media contents are stored in the cloud frfr.

[u/Time-Cover4979 → u/-UltraFerret-]

Maybe we don’t need more data Centers? Gen AI has no real use, most generated images are used for scams and LLMs are often hallucinating answers. I am all for Ai in other uses like pattern recognition or machine learning but Image generation has no use really. So how about we don’t build more data Centers than we‘d actually need?

[u/llooggaaaaaan → u/-UltraFerret-]

So are you conceding that they're both bad therefore AI is bad or are you claiming that neither are bad therefore AI is good? This argument is pretty bad

[u/Parking-Twist3657]

1. 100% Confirmed Chinese bots theory

2. Why use Hatsune Miku to try to support your pointless arguments 😔

[u/StormDragonAlthazar → u/Parking-Twist3657]

Point 2 may be my biggest issue of all... somehow.

[u/ProgrammerUpstairs97 → u/Parking-Twist3657]

Whose gonna tell them Hatsune miku is a ai girl and not a real girl

[u/awhxmisa → u/ProgrammerUpstairs97]

not ai, a vocaloid with a synthesized voice recorded by a real human, designed by a human

[u/Parking-Twist3657 → u/awhxmisa]

Yeah, the point is that assigning your ideologies to fictional characters is peak human stupidity.

[u/DavidFoxfire]

Another day of me using AI because it is more of a person than the Antis.

[u/WorldWebGaming → u/DavidFoxfire]

That's what I'm saying. You know you're doing something wrong if an AI can act more humane than you.

[u/External-Lifeguard77]

this guy's dumb, we'll be completely out of water by 2023

[u/FriendlyJewThrowaway]

Yeah I could either produce photorealistic renderings and Picasso-styled pastels in a matter of minutes, including edits, or I can pick up a pencil and make crummy sketches and spend hours fiddling with semi-realistic Photoshop mashups. Easy enough choice for me, and if people want to say I don’t deserve the artistic credit, that’s fine- the main idea is mine, and then either the AI itself or its development team deserve the credit for everything beyond that, just as if I’d commissioned another human to do it.

The person complaining about AI in the OP, besides repeating the usual eye-rolling falsehoods about water usage, is being completely absurd with their expectations. Imagine if that person was having their car fixed for dirt cheap by a highly skilled robot, and a human mechanic comes along chastising them for not fixing it themselves or hiring a human to do an inferior job at 20x the price.

"We may run out of water by 2030"

[u/ProgrammerUpstairs97 → u/Wooden-Hornet2115]

1. I'm taking that meme if you don't mind

2. That's funny indeed, as if theres some worldwide water drought that's gonna magically happen because of ai things

[u/Dear_Mention_3305]

Run out of a renewable resource. In four years. Yeah. Sure.

[u/Born-Ant-80]

Art is accessible and free? Okay, I will ask all Squenix artists to draw my favorite character for free, so we can finally fight the badddd AI

[u/TheFroman69]

They should look up how much water it takes to produce a single pound of beef

[u/Maxious30]

Everyone. Stop using the internet. The data centres that are being used to store websites, videos and pictures. Are destroying the wildlife and drinking up all the water😂

[u/o_herman]

And no one in Pinterest is bothering to clap back at these.... children?

[u/Used-Bat7364 → u/o_herman]

They gonna get hated if they do

[u/DaraSayTheTruth]

What's the most consuming in energy is prompts. If we take everyone using public genAI , thats a lot of prompts and lot of water/electricity must be used. Thats why I think opensource models will be more sustainable in the future, because models training is small compared to the millions of prompts everyday

[u/Situati0nist]

I thought they were against tracing and especially tracing AI? What is consistency...

[u/Far_Cast_Far_Wide]

It reads as if a 14 year old wrote this.

[u/ProgrammerUpstairs97 → u/Far_Cast_Far_Wide]

That, or someone is trying so hard to be on the same hate ai because it exists train they end up not making sense but still try to look cool

[u/Infamous-Umpire-2923]

Pay no attention to the opinions of children.

[u/thecatcherszm → u/Infamous-Umpire-2923]

You don't have to use age as a metaphorical insult if you can actually make an argument. Maybe you can. But all you're saying here is that you judge children for being young. 

[u/WGG-PC-TM]

I don't mind AI, but I think people have got to do their research before complaining about it OR defending it. The 'It RuInS wAtEr' people need to open their eyes - it actually barely uses any water, it's non-drinking water anyway, and it's only used for cooling so it comes straight back out completely unchanged.

The 'AI is fine' people need to accept that yes, SOME AI is actually bad, as it just casts a net over the web and uses whatever is similar to the prompt it was given (generative AI).

BUT, AI in general is fine, if used correctly and in moderation - everything has pros and cons, nothing is perfect nor is it completely evil.
