I just saw the hello message from an AI 'assistant' on someone's site, declaring up front 'I'm an AI and sometimes the answers I give are wrong, but you know' and this was a large company with a reputation. Saying to all customers 'we're gunna bullshit you, just get used to it.'
Google’s emissions are up 48% in 5 years. Microsoft’s are up 30% since 2020. Those soaring figures are being driven by mass investments in data centers to power AI tools.
Generative AI is a climate disaster and data center expansion must be stopped.
