Just saw that #genAI models now have a "how to protect the environment" suggestion... which suggests to use different genAI models 😇🤣🤦

You want to know the best way to save energy and protect the environment?

  • do not use genAI (use your own brain, or your friends')
  • while you're at it, protest all the data centers that are getting built to support all that "energy-saving" genAI! here is a set of petitions (UK-oriented) and here's another one I just saw (US-oriented, check individual petitions though)

actually had to update a meme for this 😅

#noGenAI

screenshot of some genAI coding platform, it says "Help save energy and protect the environment: use the simplest model that's good enough" with a bunch of models listed below it, of course, there is no option to "use my own brain" which would *actually* save energy and protect the environment
A mashup of the Drake meme and the brain meme where Drake looks away in disgust when the option to "save energy and protect the environment" is to use a bunch of different genAIs, but then he validates the last option, "your own brain"
