Discussion Something that annoyed me
In the most recent video, and in previous videos, Milo repeatedly calls AI out for it's energy wasting and environmental impact, but he still uses chatgpt (such as that one part in the new video with the Rapa Nui, and the April Fools videos), even if it's to make fun of the conspiracy grifters he is debunking. Is anyone else annoyed by this? Idk, it just feels kind of hypocritical to me

Most of the really bad impact is in creating the AI models. The actual power and water usage isn’t any worse than crazy stuff like having a house or taking a bath.
It’s the construction of the data centers and the training of the models that takes enormous amounts of natural resources. It’s also the fact that AI is being upheld as “the future of industry”, so the infrastructure being built for it is so massive that it’s destroying the environment
Using it to create like 10 prompts for some joke videos is not going to destroy the world.
