I agree that there are may things one could change, however for many other services or objects you buy, you are able to estimate the env. footprint or you can change your consumer behaviour. However for the top AI-models one has no clue how much energy is used. Therefore the demands are among others for transparency from the ai companies.
- mumbisChungo 1y agoI have no idea what the carbon footprint of the coffee I drink or chair I sit in or netflix program I watch is. I can control my consumption of LLMs just as easily as those things.
- bee_rider 1y agoWell, you almost certainly know more than me about it, since you are working in the area. From a layman’s point of view it seems like knowing that things are very carbon producing has not provoked mass behavior changes. I’d have more faith in moves that add a measurable cost. But maybe knowing how much LLMs produce could be part of motivating us to include an actual cost.
