If you work for an org or are part of a social group that hates my guts I include a note at the bottom of this tool giving you full permission to copy it all without crediting me fyi
I am flattered to be secretly the main source of all global tech misinfo tactics. I had no idea I was that powerful but I suppose all those secret meetings with the heads of AI labs saying "Andy we'll pay you massive amounts of money to compare data centers to other industries" had some effect
I took EcoLogits' numbers and made an interactive visual where you can compare chatbots at different sizes and outputs to your day to day life. You can show people these comparisons and not ask them to trust me at all. EcoLogits is open source and much more critical of AI than I am
A lot of people will say they don't believe my numbers on individual AI prompts not being bad. You can use this collection of estimates from outside experts and just see for yourself how many times you'd have to send each prompt to raise your carbon footprint by 1%. huggingface.co/spaces/genai...

Joshi seems perpetually incapable of thinking beyond simple vibes. Nothing I've ever said contradicts the idea that data centers keeping coal plants online is bad. He links my article "using chatgpt isn't bad for the environment" as some kind of contradiction, but (1/2)
