I personally do not use LLMs (knowingly) at all, largely for environmental reasons. The improvements are, to me, not worth the attrocious energy use. I will happily pay 20% or whatever more in both money and time.
I also have no interest in technology that impedes my skill development. I do not want to use anything that makes me a worse writer over time.
YMMV, I am answering the OP not evangelizing. Counter arguments will be ignored.

- Neywiny 1y agoNo it doesn't
- harvey9 1y agoYou don't owe anyone a back and forth discussion anyway, so the last line comes off as redundant.
- iainctduncan 1y agoYou are, of course, right. But my experience with comments in response to environmental impacts of LLMs here has been so negative that it feels appropriate nonetheless.
- dosco189 1y agoWhat do you mean by energy here? Personal energy (i.e. time, effort, up-skilling etc) or energy as a physics concept (i.e. literal energy usage in watts, the production of which will harm the environment)?
