I wonder if I should write about how useless the energy cost per prompt is regarding Generative AI. I see it used too much without people actually thinking about what it represents

The energy cost per prompt is used in comparison to so many unrelated shit by AI users to go "oh look but this is much worse, why don't you go after that?" but the individual cost per prompt doesn't matter when 8 billion prompts per day are being done, with half of them being used to generate pineapples with tits

The cost to train is much, much larger and should be looked at far more imo. Sure it's a production cost & not a usage cost, but you can't remove it from the picture since it's so incredibly large. Plus, since companies are constantly retraining their generative AI, it's irremovably connected to the lifetime of the companies themselves.

entire towns in rural places (including majority african-american and latine towns) in north america have to go through brownouts and rolling blackouts because of genAI training and use. 2 such places are even in my own home state.

google wants to build a genAI datacentre in my own homeTOWN even, which is being looked at sideways by the city council because it will need more than 5x the amount of power of the ENTIRE COUNTY.

it is impossible to understate how much of an energy suck-hole genAI is.

The energy cost of those datacenters is absolutely awful. I'm surprised not more people look at AI's energy use by looking at the datacenters. Today i read an article comparing prompt energy cost to microwave energy costs & tea kettle energy costs, which is so stupid and misses the point of cumulative use so hard. That's why i made this post to begin with

yeah electric kettles are very common where i'm from and they use a load of electricity, but you're only running it for like 1 1/2 minutes twice or 3 times a day, in comparison to christ knows how many AI images generated, and that doesn't even give you tea!

I am also proud to announce that all assets on my index page are now made by me with the exception of the tamanotchi adopts. I hope to do this with my other pages soon too but it's going to take 1 million years to make cute headers and dividers. *__*

It is just not ideal for image hosting long term, things are prone to breaking and they have been banned in the UK so websites will be broken for those users :(

I am going to try out filegarden if you are curious about an alternative!
