And, as I already pointed out, none of their suggests cost metrics are even close to a total cost, and many of them are seriously misleading, and they use them in misleading rhetorical ways (as I noted about their bogus estimates of CO2 emissions). Everything about this paper, from the name 'green AI' on down, is framed to put sole attention on a narrow arbitrary section of costs of political relevance, at the cost of a holistic evaluation. A single vague clause about 'other measures' doesn't change that, no matter how you italicize it. Motte-and-bailey.
