So many resources spent on services that are objectively not great. I have yet to see any output from Gemini or ChatGPT that sells me on the service.
This is a terrible metric. If kWh is too abstract for people, maybe put it in terms of how much water that energy could boil, starting from room temperature at sea level.
The water isn’t really consumed. It’s not like the servers are digesting it or boiling it away or something. Doesn’t the water just cycle through the system and then come out warm on the other side? There’s no reason for that water to go to waste!
Seems like these data centers are just dumping perfectly potable drinking water because it’s slightly cheaper than having their own water supply and cooling ponds.
Remember folks these clowns play lower rate than you.
When they should he paying a premium
I’ll be honest, chatGPT has helped a fair bit in my limited coding knowledge when needing to write VBS scripts for Excel or Batch Files for initial system config/app installs at work.
It is a tool like any other. If you know how to use it, you can get benefits.
Calling it AI is bullshit though. LLMs are great if you are trying learn or you need quick feedback and you know the right answer.
