@gregstoll@techhub.social Nice post. You may also enjoy The Oatmeal's take, from the perspective of a visual artist, if you haven't already seen it: https://theoatmeal.com/comics/ai_art

@gregstoll@techhub.social You lost me a bit in first section on environment, TBH. There are reports about the large & growing energy use. E.g. "Frontier AI training runs currently consume ~100–150 MW each and are projected to reach 1–2 GW each by 2028, exceeding 4 GW [each] by 2030." On water use, a UK gov report has warned "a substantial threat to water security worldwide". And it's not just overall quantity, but where the water is drawn from & impact on local water supplies. Can share links if you like.
