Generating an image of a girl with 5 tits takes like 400W running for a minute. Yet another post showing people who have no idea how AI works, why it uses electrical power and how much power it uses.
The core of the post, regardless of the "like 400W running for a minute" is "why the fuck do I have to suffer in 80°+ inside heat while AI companies don't have to reduce any sort of electrical intake during the heatwave"
If I had to pick between having AC or AI, I'm picking AC every time. Fuck would I even do with AI while im burning up at 104°
"ChatGPT tell me how to prevent heat stroke" "Dinosaurs used to eat rocks. Have you tried eating a rock?"
Difference being AC per capita uses a shitload more energy than AI does per capita. Also in AI, the costly part is done once and is done till a new model gets trained. AC is on 24/7.
AC typically provides real value. (Not counting when people air condition empty rooms, but that's also a thing corporations typically do more).
AI is often worthless or counter productive.
That's your opinion. Fact is that AI is used worldwide by lots of people to great success. It doesn't work everywhere, it isn't "a tool to end all tools", but saying AI is worthless when using air conditioning isn't, is straight up false, especially if you take into account how much power is used by people / businesses using AC and how much power is used by AI.

Look man, I can't tell if you genuinely believe what You're saying and the corpos have you by the balls, or if you're trolling. I hope you're trolling honestly.
