I totally agree that the environmental cost SHOULD be pushed towards the creators, but as long as that doesn't happen, is the moral thing as a consumer to just carry on using it? This is not a rhetorical question. Transporting something with a car using fossil fuel usually uses less energy than if a human did the same thing by hand, that doesnt mean fossil fuel is environmentally friendly. LLM:s does not decrease the population even if it can do human tasks. If the LLM is used for the good of humanity it is probably a win, but I mean obviously a lot of the use of AI is not. I use LLM:s as well, I'm just saying, I dont think it is a totally strange question to ponder over the energy use of different use cases with LLM:s.
