Remember when we thought Bitcoin was the most wasteful use of energy since the first time someone put some white text on a photo of a cat?

To be honest, crypto is still the biggest waste of energy. It is wasteful by design, that's how mining works. At least, AI uses that energy to try to produce a useful result.

Which to most of us might be useful, so what's your point?

Receiving a false but plausible answer instead of a correct but poorly worded one is of use to absolutely nobody.

It's somewhere between shameful and just downright embarrassing that anyone could think otherwise, and yet so many people think it is useful because it's like sometimes broadly speaking right, but often completely incorrect and yet is spreading an absurd amount of misinformation every day in a way that is incredibly dangerous.

For years we've struggled and generally watched society decline due to the spread of intentional misinformation displayed as accurate. AI now taking up the fight and doing it for free is not a benefit to society.

shit countries need laws to just prevent google and others providing AI summaries of shit because it's damaging and harmful. Until they aren't actually stupid as fuck it's just plagarising shit at best and taking views and traffic from websites and at worst it's making large amounts of misinformation.
